nayrt but be real. NO ONE here would be able to communicate in English if we're looking over 500 years ago anyway. And doesn't view you as an equal? For goodness sake, you don't seem to have a very charitable view of history at all. Do you think the concept of racial equality is a particularly new one? Non-white people have been traveling, trading, joining monasteries/clergy, and just living normal life in Europe for thousands of years. And homosexuality was, believe it or not, much more recently considered a big deal and even throughout the medieval period when it was supposedly condemned by the Catholic church, it was very rarely actually punished. Not to mention, not all societies were Christian/Muslim/Jewish, and not all concepts of these religions were even consistent, coherent, or literate throughout Europe and surrounding areas.

tl;dr don't be a martyr, you'd probably be fine.

Okay, but let's be clear here, the question didn't say it was only a temporary visit and the question didn't say language barriers would be magically erased.

So yes, I would think an English speaker saying they want to visit Babylon would find themselves in trouble.

And I would absolutely not want to be one of three Chinese traders that settled down in an Old English speaking area with people I can barely understand. "There were one or two around" doesn't mean you want to be one of them. The Roma and Jewish people have traveling traders and been treated terribly for ages.

With those 3 criteria removed anyway, I answered the question above.
