AlephZero 03/12/24 2:06:18 PM #1:	https://www.levelman.com/where-black-people-fx-shogun There's a Japanese proverb that says for a Samurai to be brave, he must have a bit of Black blood.

Prototypic 03/12/24 3:44:59 PM #25:	So, that is apparently not actually a Japanese proverb, and allegedly originates with a French naval doctor named Georges Maget, who was commenting on his theory about the racial origin of the Japanese people. It is absolutely wild that some made up nonsense by a French racist from ~150 years ago is being repurposed to justify modern historical revisionism. I don't particularly care about accurate historical racial representation, but this trend of claiming "actually, ancient Japanese people were really Black" is silly. --- Thus I became a madman. <cite>Prototypic posted [p:979332351] in Where Are ...
