:) This is completely amazing! I was soo proud of returning to Japan after visiting India for three months and to see an African-American on the billboard for a coffee drink that was previously held for a famous older white American male actor was very impressive. Even though living in Japan at times is rough due to being excluded in many ways they are a lot more progressive in terms of dealing with foreigners and including them whereas other Asian cultures limits the African Diasporic people to stereotypical roles! Japan also does but its a big step in the right direction!
