And, in this instance, is is NOT historically plausible to have the single black U.S. Marshal in a place where he never went and never had any reason to go. But he was chosen... because he's black.

And I have yet to see any actual *evidence* of this supposed whitewashing of history. You have *claimed* that it exists over and over again, yet you have not been able to substantiate it other than by asserting that you only *remember* one black pirate in a movie that had several of them.

As stated elsewhere, I am coming to be of the opinion that you are projecting your own "whitewashing" personal habits onto others.
