    We are fortunate enough where the children of immigrants in western countries are more associated with the western country and not the country of their parents. For the most part at least, racism still exists unfortunately.

    My comment was more for Saladin being born in present day Iraq to Armenian parents. There’s no doubt in my mind that him being born and raised in that area heavily influenced him and his worldview. I’m not too familiar with the history of the other figures so I can’t aay if my point stands for them as well.
