The reviews for Disney-owned FX’s new hit miniseries “Shōgun” have been absolutely glowing.
That is, apart from one notable exception.
The series, based on a 1975 novel by James Clavell, follows the story of an English explorer in the 1500s who finds himself smack-dab in the middle of an intense political conflict unfolding in the Japanese empire.
Though many seem to be enjoying the show, one critic — writer William Spivey — felt it was failing for one major reason: There is no black representation.
The article, which originated as a blog on Medium, has received some seriously harsh criticism, to say the least.
The general public appears to be getting sick of diversity and inclusion being placed above accurate historical storytelling.

Why stop there? How about Native Americans or gays or transgenders or undocumented persons?
The Japanese are over represented though.
If the DEI people get their way, there won’t be any Japanese in it either...................
I think if you go to the home islands of Japan now, you will find minorities are under represented across the board.
No muzzies either.
LOL!
LOL. Yeah, exactly how many black Africans were in Japan at the time?
Well, some of the Japanese identify as black. So that covered it.
This 21st century Neo-Marxism, based in DC, NY and LA is a cancer on the world
This is right up there with that idiot from deadspin calling a little kid chiefs fan a racist
Japan will now be forced to pay reparations for not having black people in the 1500’s.
yet no African-Japanese in the show....the horror!!! the humanity!!!
Solly, Chollie.
I like one comment: “We wuz samurai’n’ shizz.”
One of my high school friends is a writer/producer on that show. She’s Japanese/American. I’ll have to tell her how bad she is for being historically correct.
The remake should write in Wakandans, who arrive in their anti-grav ships to bring peace, civilization, and Popeyes to the primitive Japanese.
Where’s the black guy from “Robin Hood, Men in Tights” when you need him?
In fact, the whole failed ideology of Karl Marx and Frederich Engels is satanic and unholy. It needs to be sent back to hell where it belongs.
I’m so fed up with these people and their incessant whining.
