I do find it funny how in another comment thread to this we actually have historical examples of female samauri and warriors but black no.

It's the constant need for the left to one up themselves and go even further. Just having a female samauri or Shinobi and the biggest question would've been 'she better be hot' but they had to go too far with black when even Chinese and European were rare in Japan at the time. It's like having a good story involving a same sex couple and then they go 'ah, ones trans now'
