As Japanese When Nioh had a white protagonist, I didn't hear any complaints like "A white guy playing a samurai?!" so I don't think it's a problem.

The differences there is that AC is a western game, where Asian representation is minuscule. Nioh is a Japanese game and having a straight up white protagonist is rare.
Also, like a Redditor said here before, each game has a theme of their protagonist matching their locale. Enzo is Italian like the location, the first had a Muslim during their Crusades in the Middle East, etc. Why not the same energy here?
Also, why not share the spotlight? There could be a male Japanese ninja alongside the samurai Yasuke. It could be an ancient version of Rush Hour. Why do this when there are better ways?

There are already plenty of games set in the Sengoku period with Japanese protagonists, so I'm not really hoping for more. I never had that high of expectations for foreigners anyway. And above all, Black people have a history of oppression, whereas Japanese people, among non-whites, have relatively more power. Japan's strength was demonstrated well enough during World War II, so I don't need anything more.
Furthermore, we Asians need to cooperate with Black people. We shouldn't fall for the white man's tactics of dividing Black and Asian people.
