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

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
even notice when you're agreeing with me.
