This is just racism
Racist against who? 13th century Mongols?
Against Mongols. But it is also incredibly chuavanist in general toward all tribal people.
Is it though? I'm not sure the various Mongol empires are exactly your typical tribal people. I'm not sure you can even call them tribal people at all in the modern sense. They were an empire spanning a vast region of the world at one point.
yeah I mean, if anything, mongols were imperialistic, expanding their empire during the 13th and 14th centuries and using violence to do so.
They were tribal PRIOR to Khan uniting them in to a single empire that then spread in to the largest contiguous empire in the known history of mankind.
