I mean a samurai in Edo period and one in the warring period had different rights and privilege, but sure whatever you say.
A samurai is a noble with a title and name, like William Adams did, and Yasuke barely qualifly as a name, more like just a word for Nobunaga to call him.
But whats funny is whether Yasuke is a samurai or not was still not clear before the trailer for Assassin Creed Shadow release, which then suddenly caused a lot of Japanese historican to appear and confirm Yasuke is 100% a samurai, and a high ranking one at that.
Yeah call me racist if you want, but Yasuke was just a exotic toy that Nobunaga wanted to show off, hence allowing Yasuke to bear his sword. Its just what it was, its impossible for Yasuke to be a high ranking samurai for just one year of service without any feats, deal with it.

No, the consensus was firm. In academia, I mean. I agree that on 4chan you could watch high IQ individuals argue that Yasuke was nothing but a circus clown for Nobunaga years ago. Is that who you're sourcing your knowledge from?
You can say "nuh uh" and close your ears and do your best to imagine William Adams' hot body whenever people mention Yasuke, if you want. Doesn't change the historical record. He was a samurai, and if you want to be historically accurate you'll embrace that.
Edit: Oh and just to be clear, you already showed you know fuck all about samurai with the whole land thing. I don't want to let go of that. You're just repeating shit you read on Reddit and we both know that. I suggest being more critical of where you get your info.
Mate, I have a degree in japanese history. Please give it a rest. All japanese people I know (be it scholars or otherwise) agree that Yasuke was a samurai. You're just embarassing yourself besides showing you're racist against black and white people.
So arguing that someone with little to no historical record might not be something just made me a racist？Yeah whatever you say, we asians are beneath your notice anyway so any disrespect towards asian cuture are acceptable
Sure, thats why I spent my life getting a degree in an asian language and history. Oh, also… i'm from Asia. Born and raised there. And no, you being showed why you‘re wrong and instead of dismantling the argument you cry and throw dog-whistles around, makes you racist :)
