That is also possible. But generally, I'd say that people's minds follow their interests. So he changed his mind so that his publisher didn't have to tell him.
I guess they've never tried to persuade me, because they never seemed persuasive to me. All it is, is regurgitation of conventional wisdom, and when you do a diplomatic counter, they concede that it's a good point. Guess they may be more normies than leftists. Also, this guy is supposedly in the Czech Republic (or did he move?). There isn't a strong pro-black, pro-homosexual lobby there.
While I was looking through his T, I stumbled on his defense. He says that Musa's unusual presence results in interesting interactions. I can imagine that he thought: hey, this adds to the story and helps publishers off my back, to justify the historical inaccuracy.
I don't like that I'm having to sound like a full-blown defensder of this game, but isn't it reasonable coming from a guy who does like a lot of spices? Don't get me started on the food when I was in Japan. But I love the place.
I think this is correct but choosing to make it a humiliation ritual for his own country it was entirely his choice.
As an idea, if I go to a country that I hate the food I'm not going to just tell them your food sucks. That in itself is forced, even more forced considering Mali had human women as a delicacy.

A white guy in Europe is going to be much more self-deprecating about his food then a foreigner. Hence why it is a self insert from a writer to "lecture" people.

Fair point. Someone else also made a great point, that this is probably a great 21th century anachronism.
It does seem to me that people are overreacting just a bit. Maybe they feel betrayed because we loved the first version so much and considered him to be one of us. What I don't like is the personal attacks. Criticism is good, and it might even work to the advantage of anti-woke.
Maybe women are very tasty, and pig knee sucks in comparison. I can't say I've had the former culinary experience.
Got to admit I found the last part funny and I shouldn't
