A writer for lefty woke outlet Medium is facing ridicule for penning an article complaining about the lack of black actors in a new TV show about Samurai warriors in Japan in the year 1600.
The show, produced by FX, is a remake of the popular Shōgun series from 1980, which also featured no black actors.
Because it’s about ancient Japan.
The network’s guide to the series states “FX’s Shōgun, based on James Clavell’s bestselling novel, is set in Japan in the year 1600, at the dawn of a century-defining civil war. Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him, when a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village.”
There are European people in the series too, because Europeans travelled to Japan in boats at that time.
Japanese and Europeans, but no blacks? Medium writer and critical race theorist William Spivey cannot abide that.
