Guess we need another history lesson. Yes, there were black people
living in Japan in 1600 (and before). We don't see them in SHOGUN for
two reasons.

1) They were, statistically insignificant in number.
2) SHOGUN is based on real historical figures and events that took place
in Osaka on the Island of Honshu.

I didn't "refute" anything.  I explained to you exactly why you won't
see any black people in SHOGUN.

 Did you have a stroke and somehow think I was the author of the Medium
article that was complaining about no blacks in SHOGUN?
 If not, I can't imagine why you thought I needed an amateur historian
lecture on Japanese history.
 

Well, let's see who posted the original thread, shall we?

Well, well, well... lookey there!  You started the thread... so who the fuck am I supposed to reply to, dimwit?
