I still think in the UK there was limited appetite for nonfiction accounts of racism of UK people. (There may still be limited appetite for effusively positive nonfiction about Travelers, or general nonfiction about the Troubles that may be taking “a side”.)

I'm sure there's plenty of appetite for accurate documentaries about Travelers. One of the Assassin‘s Creed games has an exploration mode, and if you walk by one of the outdoor “classrooms” the narrator will explain that while they show boys and girls learning together, the reality was that only boys were present in the schools, and that the creators here specifically chose to show the way it “should have been“. They spent some unknown amount of money on this major feature that toured all around their map, tons of real photos and documentary about how they captured the feel, interviews with historians… centering on historically accurate, but when it came to controlling their own wokeness for a second, they had to present the “effusively positive“. I don’t care what they do, but it was an admission that they didn’t really care about nonfiction, and made me untrustful of the remaining content.
