An Assassin's Creed lead has responded to criticism from Elon Musk over Assassin's Creed Shadow's inclusion of a Black samurai main protagonist.
For some context, one of the playable protagonists in Assassin's Creed Shadows is a samurai named Yasuke who also happens to be a Black person. People became upset over what they perceive as a slight against historical accuracy, and as he is wont to do these days, Musk chimed in with a pithy tweet claiming "DEI kills art." DEI in this instance refers to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
