Only if you don't know how to read. It's actually the opposite of that. It's a deconstruction of the white saviour narrative. Unless you're a hysterical SJW who has unthinking knee-jerk reactions.

It's not a deconstruction of the 'white savior' narrative. It's arguably a deconstruction of the idea of saviors in general - in line with the ongoing themes of the series as a whole - but that's not, I think, the same thing at all.

I don't think this is a fatal problem, to be clear, but the series does invoke the specific image of a white savior while it's trying to set up a somewhat different storyline, and it's perfectly reasonable for people to ask questions about that. It doesn't make them 'hysterical SJWs who have unthinking knee-jerk reactions' and I'm honestly getting really tired of that kind of rhetoric.

THANK YOU. I don't think getting creeped out by this is at all unreasonable or irrational.

In the books, perhaps (I gave up on book 3, I wouldn't know). But we all know the show is as subtle as a truck of bricks and the execution was super racist.
