Well, I mean, in the show they are all very, very brown and she is very, very white.

[(Anonymous)]

"very very brown"

LOL that's the common skin tone in my southern European country...

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah and notice that when Katniss is described as olive-skinned, tumblr instantly insists that it means 100% POC!!!11

Then again those same people have called Iranians, Armenians and Sami who have disagreed with them as "white-passing", so...

[(Anonymous)]

Oh god, the Sami thing. *snort*

But yeah, it's almost like the US-American social construct of race can't be freely applied to the rest of the world.

I mean, there has never been significant ethnic tension among native populations in Africa or Asia because they're all ~POC~, right?

[(Anonymous)]

Actual things Tumblr has claimed: Asia and pre-Colombian America were feminist diverse non binary POC paradises, but it all changed when the White Nation attacked.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh lawd yes. We Iranians are only glorious POC until we disagree, at which point we become white-passing and then white devils and then blah blah blah I stop paying attention and click "ignore". For some crazy reason, it's always the white American SJ fanatics who throw "white-passing" at me. Gosh, that's surprising.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. I'm not offended by it but I find the savior trope pretty embarrassing.

[(Anonymous)]

That's because they were extras, you know, since they shoot in a country that is very, very brown. Do you really think they were going to fly white extras all the way there, just for one scene?

[(Anonymous)]

this justification is pretty funny tbh

it's not racist, dude, there just weren't any white people around to be the slaves

oops.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

If this was shot in Spain, southern Italy or Greece or Cyprus the people would look pretty much the same, you know.

[(Anonymous)]

You're so ignorant it hurts. I can't speak for Cyprus or Greece, but I have lived I have been in both Spain and Italy and their people are white. The slaves from the show are from Morocco, they are Arab. White and Arab people look nothing at all. There are a lot of Moroccan people in Spain and they are completely different.

[(Anonymous)]

"Arab people". Oh my god. Please tell me more about us Arab people~

[(Anonymous)]

They stink. According to my Spaniard friend most of them stink like they don't shower .

[(Anonymous)]

My friend is Arabic and has pale skin and dark hair, so you'd be factually wrong there.

[(Anonymous)]

If they had flown in white actors to be the slaves, people would be complaining about that, too.

[(Anonymous)]

I seriously doubt that.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

They so would. Something along the lines of depriving the locals of income.

[(Anonymous)]

I think people who are concerned about minority representation in Game of Thrones would be more interested in seeing actual roles, roles that aren't defined by how ~exotic~ (often in sexual, barbaric terms both in the book and series) they are. Maybe even notable leads.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt

Of course they would. SJWs aren't happy unless there's 'social justice' to rage on about. If they'd flown in white extras, Team!Racist would be pacified but then you'd get other pissed off SJWs raging about how the 'white' production company flew in their 'own people' instead of giving an economic lift up to the hundreds of 'indigenous' people available in Morocco.

[(Anonymous)]

It isn't racist? They put out a local casting call for extras, most of the extras were dark skinned because that is what the locals are. They aren't going to go out of there way to fly in non-locals for extras just so some people on the internet don't get their panties in an uproar.

[(Anonymous)]

their**

[(Anonymous)]

makes one wonder if that isn't why they were filming in Morocco in the first place, gasp.

also: there are white people in Morocco, fyi. if they didn't want to make a racial statement, maybe they would've had a variety of races, including white people, represented among the slaves like the books.

[(Anonymous)]

But... Dany's portion of the story occurs in great expanses of grassland and desert with some coastal cities. Were they supposed to film it in Iceland?

[(Anonymous)]

Alright then, Mr. Fancy Pants Thinks he has all the answers. Where would you film it? In the middle of Arizona?

[(Anonymous)]

I have no idea what you mean by "white people in Morocco" because every time I read about what SJW consider "POC" and "white or white-passing" it's something completely different from what most people in the region they're talking about would call it.
