African-American Named Top Commercial Star in Japan

Is this Black-Success-Stories-in-Nearly-Homogeneous-Countries Day or am I tweaking? On a CNN International blog, they say that Dante Carver, an African-American actor in Japan was named the top commercial actor in one of the world's most homogeneous countries. Earlier today, I talked about how BBC News stated that a Nigerian was sworn in as an MP in Poland.

Japan is ethnically 98.5% Japanese, 0.5% Korean and 0.4% Chinese and the rest is shown by the World Fact Book as "other," which means black people in Japan don't even make 0.5% of the country. Watch the video from CNN and let me know what you think of today's second triumph by a black person in a non-black world.
