    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.

        My dude… Not only can Asians be racist, they are some of the most racist people around. Go to China and listen to them talk about other races. They make Alabama seem like a pinnacle of equality and tolerance.
