Of course the Sumerians weren’t “white” in the American sense, but there’s no reason to believe that they looked much different than the Greeks. Mediterranean, Eastern European, North African, and West Asian peoples share tremendous genetic affinity, which is why they have broadly common phenotypes. This is borne out…

Oda Nobunaga was infamously flippant towards tradition and common decorum of Japanese culture. Yasuke is what is known as "the exception that proves the rule." 

Oh wow the yusuke story is interesting but Isn’t dinasty warrior take place in the 3 kingdom period in China not in japan ?
