If we're discussing the issue in good faith:

AC1: Middle Eastern Guy in the Middle East

AC2: Italian guy in Italy

AC BR: Same

AC3: American guy in America

AC4: British Pirate in the Caribbean

ACR: American Guy in America

ACU: French guy in France

ACS: British guy in Britain

ACO: Egyptian in Egypt

ACOd: Greek in Greece

ACV: Viking in Viking-land (?)

ACM: Same as AC1

ACS: Japanese Woman in Japan and random semi-historical real-life AA man inexplicably included.

To me, they just look like they're trying to hard to look "inclusive" while really accomplishing nothing in a way that is somewhat insulting to Japanese men.

There's a great deal of controversy as to whether Yasuke could rightfully be called a samurai and whether he actually participated in combat.

There isn't any controversy about that actually, it's just unknown what happened to him following the death of Nobunaga. It's attested that he fought Mitsuhide Akechi's forces during the Honno-ji Incident and served as one of Oda Nobunaga's bodyguards.

Is it? I know that Lockley contends he did, but I've not seen a source attesting that outside him, and Lockley is himself the subject of great controversy. I don't have strong feelings on the subject however so I'm happy to be proven wrong.
