I've even read that Norse 'graffiti' has been found in and around the Middle East from where bands of Norsemen were hired to be body guards for local big-wigs here and there (probably well-to-do merchants).

From the various histories I've read over the years, I recall that we would try to dress like and participate in the communities we traded with. It would greatly surprise me if some didn't come home with a bride and/or kids from those places. That definitely does not sound like something the racists and 'white power' types would dare do.

Personally, I always hated having to deal with people that would see my Thor's Hammer and instantly think that I belonged to some racist prison gang or something. Luckily most would see their error after a fact filled conversation.
