I was ready to ask why it is that many game developers seem to have this blind spot, and don't understand that it's important to cast PoC actors for their PoC characters, but this is something else.
Glad that I have not picked up DMC5 yet with this, and the other issues people have pointed out in this thread.

It may not be intended as malicious or hurtful to the same degree that it is in America, but it certainly is offensive.About Black face stuff not being super offeinsive in Japan, its not Japan only thing. Let me introduce you to Netherland's (one of the countries that puts value of race and gender rights in high regard) christmas character Black Pete, google for yourself.
Plus black face is not something is super offensive outside of america and europe, for example central asia, like we were not exposed to the whole issue that surrounds it, I know if somebody in my country do black face he will be just seen a bit weird than rude or offensive. Obviously young generation with social media exposure now understand the some idea of it but still its not something that railed up abou in common envieroment.
