These days, everything that ever happened anywhere gets shoehorned into Afrocentric ideology:

The 2024 version of Shogun begins in 1600, as did the 1980 version, both based on the novel by James Clavell. …

1980 Shogun, starring Richard Chamberlain, also reinforced the white savior trope, far too common in film, television, and history books.

The 2024 version focuses far more on the Japanese perspective. The white characters appearing in the first episodes representing Portugal, Spain, England, and Holland could hardly be deemed heroic.

So far so woke. A part of Americana “hailed by many as a cinematic wonder” has been reconstructed so as to comply with liberal establishment ideology by denigrating Caucasians. But wait:

I ask the question now that I naively didn’t ask in 1980. Where are the Black people?

Answer: somewhere other than feudal Japan. However, author William Spivey asserts with a straight face that a shogun who lived in the 8th century was black.

Care to guess Spivey’s racial background?

On a tip from Jack Bauer.
