1) It is facts.

2) No, why would that be a reason in a historical game? You do know that not every country has the same kind of racial relations as the US? Or do you think any African media is obligated to feature at least one white, Asian, and Hispanic person?

Psssst: The Witcher is not a "historical" game, it is fantasy. It's not real.

But it is based on a real culture. I don't expect an African fantasy movie filmed in Zimbabwe to have white/Asian/Hispanic people.

Just because it's based off a real culture doesn't mean it IS that culture. Avatar: The Last Airbender is based off of Asian cultures. That doesn't make the characters Asian. They're whatever they identify as (Air Bender, Fire Nation, etc.) because race as we know it doesn't exist in that world.

Strangely, that didn't stop people from complaining when white poeple were casted. In fact, there was a strong argument made for them not being white, precisely because the fictional culture was based on Asain cultures.

You can't have a cake and eat it.

...No, the argument was because the actual characters in the actual source material were very visibly not white. They took a cartoon where the vast majority of characters were something other than white, and cast everyone except for the villains as white.

It isn't based on Polish culture at all. It's a fantasy kitchen sink that takes myths from all over Europe and places them in a setting which is a hybrid of multiple European cities. "Polish authenticity" is an absolute bullshit argument and it needs to go away.
