But are "races" defined by the same parameters we define races in current year Earth? Valyrian being an ethnicity is irrelevant because we don't know exactly what defines that ethnicity.

All I remember was blonde, fair hair and purple eyes being indicative of Valyrian blood. Nothing specific to skin color.

Regardless I am glad you and I (and basically everyone else) agrees it's superior to how RoP handles it with no attempt to even hand wave it away with a goofy explanation.

No problem my dude

?

Black Americans are ~12% of the US, presumably half of them are male.

What statistic did I make up?

Agreed, not even close even.

I mean, in the context of the adapting an existing story sure.

If we had a movie about Yoruban deities I would not expect there to be any white people because that'd be kind of dumb.

Eh, disagree. If anything the Southlands makes slightly more sense than Numenor.

Numenoreans are exclusively descended from one race and keeps the same appearance due to their isolation as an island. They certainly went out and conquered/colonized but they are still all described as 7 foot tall, fair skinned bodybuilders. The Southlands all being connected by land allows much more effortless migration and mixing of populations.

Ehhhh the black Valyrians makes sense, how does it not?

They are a different blood line than the Targaryens also from Old Valyria. Old Valyria is much more racially diverse than Westeros especially with the lands beyond the immediate coastline where the Free Cities and Old Valyria are.

>gigantic, billion dollar show from beloved IP is kind of a stinker

>whine that a television board keeps talking about it

I mean, every single show/ip in the US has a black dude in it these days and they are ~6-7% of the population. It's not just a UK thing. Working with a lot of East Asians many of them are surprised when they come here and find so many more white people.

I can guarantee that most far right people have a very, very good grasp on history. History is one of the few academic subjects that actually has some Republicans teaching it.

Bless up thanks Batman

For real though, it's leagues better than it was when I was a kid.

That's... the entire point of Batman. In the 80's and 90's police corruption was so ridiculously rampant Batman turned into the caped crusader. A complete vigilante power fantasy that frequently saw himself in the crosshairs of dirty politicians, journalists, criminals AND cops. He was a one man force for good against a completely rotten, immoral society.
