A coffee table accounting of history.  Its like calling a coffee table photo journal of King Tut's Tomb a history book.    As I've already pointed out The Writers expertise was not in history (you can check his credentials if you like) or writing history.    But he is qualified to talk about the games development.  You're welcome to extrapolate what I'm saying as bigotry but you'd be disingenuous if you did. It gets brought up here because the messaging moved that way.   They hired diverse creators.  That is what is said is needed to solve the problem.  I don't know what that gif means.</blockquote>
