"Where Are The Black People in 'Shogun'?"

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...db8fe9e1&ei=29

Why are there no black people in a show set in 1600's Japan? I wonder if this is a troll article.

"The white characters appearing in the first episodes representing Portugal, Spain, England, and Holland could hardly be deemed heroic. However, the character John Blackthorne, now played by Cosmo Jarvis, is already a pivotal figure and will be a hero, along with several Japanese characters. Others are already praising the new 10-part series as a cultural sea change from the 1980 version. I ask the question now that I naively didn’t ask in 1980. Where are the Black people?"

"The primary setting of Shogun was Osaka, which was Japan’s economic hub and cultural center during the period of the series. If there were Black people anywhere in Japan (and there were), they would also be in Osaka. Not necessarily freely living and roaming among the people but certainly as part of the groups of European emissaries. Perhaps the 2024 version of Shogun will break ground in future episodes and include the Black people present at the time, though they didn’t in 1980. There is a range of hues among the Japanese people depicted; maybe one will be revealed to be Black. There are some upcoming naval scenes pitting Japanese ships against Europeans, so there’s hope some Black sailors will reflect historical accuracy."

Apparently black people were Shoguns as well as being Egyptians, Vikings, European Queen, Jews...(probably missing some others)

Yes apparently they wuz errywhurr in ancient times but got kicked out and removed from each and every society they inhabited. Reminds me a different group.

They are there. Just have to watch to the series finalie. The black ppl roll up from wakanda in a space ship filled with white wyminz and they bring peace to 17th century japan.

When I was little, my father was famous
He was the greatest samurai in the empire
And he was the Shogun's decapitator
He cut off the heads of 131 lords
It was a bad time for the empire
The Shogun just stayed inside his castle and he never came out
People said his brain was infected by devils
My father would come home, he would forget about the killings
He wasn't scared of the Shogun, but the Shogun was scared of him

If Anne Boleyn was a black Queen Of England in the 1500's, then why not?

Trannies, p e d o s

its so sad, pathetic and fckn embarassing for black people to be treated like this, yet they say nothing

Thank god for AI

Netflix had a black VIKING so why not lol.
