Apparently a show about feudal Japan isn't diverse enough even though

Now it seems that the definition of 'diversity' is morphing yet again
and it now doesn't matter how many other minorities are in your show,
you still have to have a quota of black people regardless of whether
their presence makes any damn sense or not.

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.

So bitching about no black people in SHOGUN is stupid, like I said.

You're so obsessed with refuting everything I say that you no longer

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?

No one, since I AGREED that there wouldn't be any black people in
SHOGUN. It's the blacktivist author of the Medium article that I cited
and which I was CRITICIZING who said otherwise.

Jeezus, this is shit a 2-year-old can comprehend.

Funny how FPP feigns stupidity whenever he looses a debate, is it not?
He really needs to quit being such a sore loser.
