If you've read several of my articles with an open mind, I hope you've found they were fairly well-researched. You may disagree with my conclusions, but there are some facts that can be agreed upon. Before I wrote a word on the subject I researched it. I wasn't looking for random Black people to be wandering around Japan, but everywhere the Europeans were, particularly the Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, and Jesuit priests that were a combination of the three; there were Black people, most often slaves but not always. Leaving them out paints a different picture of the Europeans. Many of the ten episodes didn't feature Europeans, and there would have been no reason to show Black people. Some episodes did including one showing the Black Ship and its crew. Black people didn't need to be featured but should have been there. It may seem counterintuitive but that's who was there.
