Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Or maybe the character is historically accurate, and yall are just being racist...

This meme was created way before Assassin's Creed added Yasuke to their game. Which sucks because this meme was pretty funny before people got racist.

Wait, you think that racism is new? Where were you during pretty much every history class ever?

And also Ubisoft isn't American, they're a French company. So instead of Guile we should have Manon.

Yasuke was a retainer. And Retainers were loyal and trusted individuals who served a lord, such as a daimyo or the shogun, in various capacities, especially in military matters.

In other words, a warrior. And Samurai are the warrior caste.

Ah yes, because Japanese people are totally over represented in media! Gotta find the one black guy!
