It's not weirder. It would be weirder though, if you did that to all the black characters, and totally erased the racism of the time, making it as though there were no special barriers for women or PoC regarding certain careers.

You said it right there--DISGUISES her self to be a squire. Not "a magical land where all the girls can be knights, and no one thinks it's weird and she doesn't have to hide her gender".

John the guy with the laser beams? He's a black lawyer? Sure, maybe he did his undergrad at Lincoln University. But Susie, and Jeremiah, and Robert, and Frankie-with-the-teleporting-powers? Yeah, it's going to be weird if they're a judge, doctor, police officer, and Hollywood heartthrob respectively. That's highly statistically unlikely for the time, and it erases the racism and sexism of the time.

"It's not weirder. It would be weirder though, if you did that to all the black characters, and totally erased the racism of the time, making it as though there were no special barriers for women or PoC regarding certain careers."

Who was suggesting that be done, though? Nobody that I could see, which makes me wonder why you'd conjure up such a strange argument that takes the suggestion that ONE black lawyer isn't that weird and turns it into your imaginary argument about erasing racism and making all the black characters lawyers. Your imaginary argument (that no one but you has suggested) is very silly, indeed. But since it's got nothing to do with the original argument, that's irrelevant.
