[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 9230439, member: 6901101"] EDIT: Sorry, meant to reply to: [USER=6182]@Incenjucar[/USER] - Millions of people a year went on pilgrimages. You are correct. Millions, not hundreds of millions. And those pilgrimages almost all resided in one's kingdom or state or country of origin. Most pilgrims (there are of course exceptions) travelled a couple hundred miles. Some travelled a bit more. They travelled on well-worn roads, and encountered groups that knew there would be travelers. They, for the most part, spoke the same language, wore the same clothes, and shared the same culture. They were not from Japan, and making their way to a pilgrimage site in what is now Southeast India; encountering foreign (and in some cases) cultures so strange they would be considered alien. Here is a good statistic for you: up until 1500, it is estimated that less than .1% of Chinese people saw a white person. And most of those were explorers and soldiers. The point is, pilgrimages rarely equaled direct exposure to other races or cultures. Now a good war campaign... ;) :( [/QUOTE]
