Let's ignore Yasuke for a minute, let's ignore the actual history and say yeah fuck it, he WAS a Samurai, he WAS celebrated and respected and he WAS on equal footing with people in Japan, just like everything Ubisoft and everyone else claims.
WHY HIP HOP?
Hiphop wasn't even fucking "invented" until the 1970s, yet Shadows take place in 1579.
Like fucking hell, Yasuke isn't even AFRICAN AMERICAN, the same "people" who invented Hiphop. He is just AFRICAN
African Americans and Africans aren't the same fucking thing, it's different cultures.
Yasuke for all we know, NEVER SET FOOT IN AMERICA
And even if he did, he still DIDN'T cause America wasn't a fucking thing until 1776
I feel like I'm going insane but god this is like the most racist game I've ever seen.
Isn't it hypocritical/racist to associate/stereotype Hip-Hop with every fucking black person out there? Stereotyping that shit to Black people only?
I swear it's not just this game but nearly every game that has a Black person in it, has Hip-hop in it.
There are more Genres out there that Black people made BEYOND Rap and Hip-Hop jesus christ. You better believe if L.A Noire was made today, not only would it have a Black Protagonist but the music wouldn't be Jazz/Blues, it'd be Hiphop. The fucking irony.
It's erasing the actual history of Japan and it's culture, and replacing it with African American Culture.
Not every black person has the same culture, not every black person likes the same shit, not every black person has the same tastes
Yet somehow, for some reason, every time there's a black person in Media, it's always African American Culture.
I'm not even Black yet I'm offended to hell and back.
