  1. That's because they aren't making a caricature of your culture, if you see actual Scandinavians commenting here they are upset because this church is making a caricature out of their cultures. American white nationalists are closest Nordic Europeans have to blackface. So yeah, nice you're not offended... Norwegians are.

  2. Segregation is bad, period... But black people didn't segregate themselves, they were FORCED into ghettoes by US laws like Jim Crow.

  3. You had us in the first half not gonna lie, sounded you downplaying it and then it hit that you didn't mean practice as a journalist, but as someone who's black.

  4. Vikings literally assimilated too... they did NOT push their culture on locals as much as they adopted local customs, Normans were frankified vikings, Varangians were heavily influenced by Eastern Roman/Byzantine empiure, and Rus' basically mixed with Slavs and Bulgars so much, they stopped existing as a separate nation, the only thing left of the Norsemen that Arabs and Persians knew as the "Rus" is, at most, 10% of DNA in Ukrainians and Belarusians. You can even see how their names changed, first princes with purely Nordic: Askold, Dyr, Rurik (latter is likely fictional), then came names that got Slavified into the common names still in use here, Ingvar became Igor, Helga and Helgi – Olga and Oleg, THEN they picked a soundalike Slavic name to their Nordic, for example Waldamarr became Volodymyr, and Sveinald – Sviatoslav. FINALLY, next generation stopped having a Norse name altogether, styling themselves something like Yaroslav, Vsevolod or Sviatopolk, and of course many just Christianized and we got Ivans, Marias, Anastasias, Pavlos and Petros instead. Similar processes happened in other places, Wilhelm became William in England... Karl – Charles... Heinrich – Henry. You can see Germanic etymology of other names too. But Plantagenets were already culturally French at that point. Vikings stopped being vikings eventually... But the LARPers think that Norwegians 200 years ago worshiped Odin, while in the real world, Norwegian king already led a crusade 900 years ago. This ignorance is deliberate.
