Ah, I clicked on this article hoping for information but it felt more like an ad for the Netflix series and at times goes in detail to describe fan fiction from historians only to go on record to state there is no evidence behind said claims. At that point why even bother to include it in the article as many reader might not even notice this. This article feels more low effort than most articles from the Smithsonian and I hope it's not a sign of lower quality works to come.

I gave up on Smithsonian magazine a decade ago when they started going woke. The article topics and writing fulfill their agenda, and I choose not to pay for that.
Eh. Not sure about that. Yasuke is a real person or we think he is. But this feels more like speculative fiction with an advertisment rather than anything else.
