Well, this is awkward…
Nordic people were systematically marginalized by people from west Africa. Northwestern specifically. There are accounts of Nordic slaves in the Moorish and Islamic slave trade as late as the late 1700s, and people living in bondage in North Africa is still pretty common today.
And mean, it’s pretty frequent. You can write it off as an outlier if you want, but I would argue that you are the outlier in this case.
