As a friend....I'd ask the mods to delete this post if I were you.

It puts in you a very, very bad light.

I stand by what I said - for the 1200s, the same period that Genghis Khan devastated the Khwarezm, Jing, Tangut, Khara-Khita, Naiman, Rus, Chiphcak-Kuman etc.

Anyway, for that period, the designation of clothes to identify people was no different to what was happening even in the secular sense - as yeomen v/s nobility etc.

You cannot judge people of the 1200s by today’s standards. Unless you are one of those woke folks who also condemn the founding fathers for not having 2024 sensibilities
