When you’re a pop culture-loving person of colour you learn to take the character wins where you can, but on Game of Thrones the losses just keep piling up. There is barely a brown person left alive in the long-running fantasy series – and after the broadcast of season eight, episode four, yet another of the few minority ethnic characters became an expendable casualty of the writers’ room. “So,” director Ava DuVernay tweeted in response to the death of Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel). “The one and only sister on the whole epic, years-long series? That’s what you wanna do? Okay.”

Same with walking dead,,surest way to die is be black or gay
Hey, race-hate mongers! Spoiler alert - everyone dies in game of thrones.
Gee, I just took it for granted that GOT was... wait for it... RACIST!
Kinda crappy not to include “spoiler alert.”
Not a GOT watcher but we have some.
But being the curmudgeon that he is, GRRM would probably set the story in ancient China, and solemnly pledge to celebrate the famous ethnic diversity of the Han Chinese.
So now not only do you have to have blacks on every movie and TV show, but you can’t allow anything bad happen to them while they’re there.
Hey leftists - blank you and your identity politics PC BS.
But the harpooned dragon was definitely white. Balanced out the episode, doncha think?
Holy crap. These leftists see nothing, nothing but race! They must watch TV with a score card, and just check off some race boxes instead of caring for the story line!
I recently watched “Rogue One” because some FReepers had said it was a decent movie; as it concluded all I took away from it was that it was made to correct an oversight in the last of the earlier prequels: It had been implied that an alien race had built the Death Star, and “Rogue One” clarified that it was white men that made it.
Pathetic...
Now if some Person of Color wants to write a hit TV show loosely based on tribal kings in 12th century Africa, go for it! You can have a cast full of People of Color and you won't need any white people at all.
There were some moors but they were mulatto.

No, no... not good enough. 77% of the U.S. population is white, so I demand that 77% of the cast be white, so we can be fairly represented. I also demand that nothing bad happens to us in the show, because, after having been defamed as racists and raped by taxes for the past half-century, white people need to level the playing field.
(and, of course, I’m mocking the idiot leftists here)
If the plot and characters weren’t garbage to begin with, nobody would care what color they are.
Eff the racism pimps.
Rogue One was made completely pointless and stupid by the canon-breaking weaponizing of hyperdrive in SW8.
The moment they did that, none of the rest of the Star Wars universe makes sense. If one could make a hyperdrive weapon, nobody would build a ship large enough to be worth targeting with one.
Why even bother to attack the Death Star head on in the original when they could have just sent a hyperspace nuke to obliterate it in one shot?
The entire series is in complete ruin.
Yes. My mom knew. She’d say. “Go out and play. Get some color in your face”. So I did. I guess that makes me “people of color”. No U.
Liberals are the most miserable people on the planet.
Even FICTION triggers them.
