Don't forget the classic, "They filmed it in this place where there weren't any white people! (And I mean like, there's no chance they chose to film it there because of that. They couldn't have chosen to film it anywhere else. They were forced to choose this one place where there just happen to be no white people!)"

...yes. this.

Where else should Dany's entire arc be filmed since the whole setting fits in the Mediterranean landscape?

Yes, the production people definitely sat down and said "hey, let's fim in Morocco so we can fuck over the locals by filming this really neato scene where Dany saves them and is all super-white and shit". No, they filmed in Morocco because it's a good location match and has a strong film production sector, thus skilled local crew for hire, and likely some financial incentives from the government to encourage inward investment. They didn't just film that one single scene there, you know. It's a long shoot for a hefty chunk of the story.

You sound paranoid, to be honest. This is some conspiracy theory stuff, thinking they chose Morocco so they could deliberately film one scene with dodgy racist overtones.

This. What the fuck? I've been staying out of this whole discussion, but...someone genuinely believes that they chose to film in Morocco so they could make a scene debatably racist? That's batshit.

Do you... really believe that the skin color of extras was the only factor determining the location of this lengthy shoot? Isn't it much likelier that the process went something like this: location unit scouted possible areas the world over and then presented a bunch of suitable ones in terms of geography, at which point studio heads weighed over factors like labor laws, availability and cost of local crew, immigration customs (how easy/hard it would be to get all of our guys into the country for the shoot and obtain work permits for them), whether the local gov would be nice enough to throw in a nice fat tax break...

You really really think that amidst this logistic nightmare, these business-minded people's main concern was, "But can we get enough brown people for this one scene"?

The only business this lot are ever going to get into is the non-oppressive organic vegan cupcake business, so I think the logistics of filming something on anything more complicated than their smartphone's Super 8 app is well beyond them.
