Last time I checked, white skin = white, not eye colour or hair colour. A black dude with blue eyes doesn't stop being black. A Japanese girl with blonde hair doesn't stop being Asian, when it comes to ethnicity. Yes, it's odd and implies an ancestor of different ethnicity/racial make up but doesn't stop them having skin colour, which is what people look at when they call people black/white/etc. Either way, purple eyes is, honestly, a natural and possible eye colour for people, fucking rare but natural. Look it up. Albinos often have red and purple eye colours, and other peoples can appear purple. Either way, that and silver hair does not mean can't be white.

I remember watching a movie based on a true story about a daughter of two white Africans being born with black skin, brown eyes, brown hair etc and looked like she should have been the daughter of two black people, not white. She had to have papers from the government and everything classifying her as white. I think a plot point came up that the government changed the rules so race wasn't determined by parentage but racial traits, so she got reclassified as black and had to move out of her parents house and move to the black area and was only able to talk to black folk etc. I forget how this relates back to what I was saying, but racism is fucking nuts, people.

As interesting as that may be, it doesn't have much to do with sticking a trope on a magical creature which though may have pale skin, doesn't have the imperialist/majority/whatever baggage is associated with said trope.

OP is trying too hard to find something to be offended about.

This. Fictional races are not white/black/Asian/whatever because they are fictional and exist in a fictional world that does not have the same history as the real world.

I agree, but I suspect the problem has more to do with this story being aired in the real world, where people have rather different associations around race etc.

That's "Skin" starring the wonderful Sophie Okonedo.

*adds to Netflix queue* Thanks for this. I love Sophie Okonedo, she is a wonderful actress and this is one movie of hers I have not seen and the subject is very interesting.

Did they do the true story justice with it?
