    Learning Yasuke was based on a real person did little to assuage critics. Asian men in particular argued Schmidt-Hori was trying to erase them, even though her role involved researching historical customs and reviewing scripts, not creating characters.

    If you are this stupid, maybe you in particular should be erased?

        I’m Asian-European and in my experience there are many Asians who are right wing racist shit heads. Not to mention all the self hating Asian women who hate every Asian man on the planet including their own family members.

          Thank you. I didn’t read that the Asian in the subject was not American but British, but some folk seem to not realise that Asians can be both right-wing and a national of a non-Asian country.

        If you actually read the article, you’d see your assumption is wrong.

        Anik Talukder, a 28-year-old south Asian man living in the United Kingdom, said he apologized at least 10 times to Schmidt-Hori after accepting her Zoom invitation to discuss his Reddit post about her.

        Go ahead and say “white.” You mocked the idea they’re Asian but then replaced it with an ideology and a nationality. You think they’re white, right?
