I think the black identity in general was poisoned for Asians long before that. If you look at anime and manga in history the typical portrayal of a black man (aside from being stereotypically afro'd) as part of a group is one of a person who is a brutish thug of lower intelligence. Sure, they've had stuff where there are black athletes in there, but their general portrayal of blacks haven't been favorable. But sure, us wypipo are the racists that don't put them in games...
