Don’t think he is racist, the overall story implies he has a strong ability to empathize with others so I doubt he is racist. permalinkembedsavereportgive goldreply [–]Original_Redditard[S] -3 points an hour ago That sounds like excuses a person would make after being called out on it, almost classic George Lucas. "Umm, well, i considered making the Targs black but it didnt fit."

Is that racist? permalinkembedsavereportgive goldreply [–]Original_Redditard[S] -1 points 1 hour ago There were plenty, Moorish traders hit every port back then. And, the Dothraki are basically Mongolians, you know, asians. permalinkembedsaveparenteditdisable inbox repliesdeletereply [–]maybebakedOnions for all!

Moors were middle eastern. permalinkembedsaveparentreportgive goldreply [–]Original_Redditard[S] 2 points 1 hour ago Moors were Moroccan, which is in Africa, and also known as Berbers. permalinkembedsaveparenteditdisable inbox repliesdeletereply [–]maybebakedOnions for all!

Spain used to be as white as Norway, but the Moors changed that. permalinkembedsaveparenteditdisable inbox repliesdeletereply [–]Higher_Primate [score hidden] 1 hour ago That's pretty racist. Just because they share a continent doesn't mean they're the same race, Africa is huge dude. Are middle easterners the same race as Indians? What about the Chinese? permalinkembedsaveparentreportgive goldreply [–]Original_Redditard[S] 1 point 1 hour ago That's pretty damn ignorant dude. Moors are a specific group, and they weren't Middle Eastern, but they were Muslim. They were basically of middle Eastern and Sub Saharan ancestry, but were their own thing. permalinkembedsaveparenteditdisable inbox repliesdeletereply [–]Higher_Primate [score hidden] 1 hour ago Yeah that's what I'm saying, there are a myriad of races in Africa. Its not one group permalinkembedsaveparentreportgive goldreply [–]Original_Redditard[S] 1 point 58 minutes ago The Moors, however, were, for the most part. There were blacker and lighter ones, and ones that weren't genetically Moors at all, just by location, but they were a group, I thought it was very clear I was talking about Moors and not Africa in general. permalinkembedsaveparenteditdisable inbox repliesdeletereply [–]Higher_Primate [score hidden] 50 minutes ago No you were clearly lumping them in with sub-saharan Africans. permalinkembedsaveparentreportgive goldreply [–]Original_Redditard[S] 0 points 21 minutes ago Don't fucking tell me what I meant when I tell you different. permalinkembedsaveparenteditdisable inbox repliesdeletereply [–]PiotrElvis [score hidden] 1 hour ago First of all, I don't quite understand why you would pick Ronald Reagan as the default example for a typical racist. Second of all, people of Naath are described as having "dusky skin", and Missandei is an incredibly talented and educated person, especially for a 10 year old. permalinkembedsavereportgive goldreply [–]Original_Redditard[S] -4 points 1 hour ago Dusky isn;t black, and you seem a little too impressed with a ten year old woman. permalinkembedsaveparenteditdisable inbox repliesdeletereply [–]PiotrElvis [score hidden] an hour ago She speaks 4 languages and has impressed both Daenerys and Barristan Selmy with her intelligence and bravery. permalinkembedsaveparentreportgive goldreply [–]Original_Redditard[S] -2 points an hour ago If she was so smart, why is she a slave? permalinkembedsaveparenteditdisable inbox repliesdeletereply [–]YouBetterNotDieThe She-Wolf of Winterfell.

[score hidden] an hour ago I wasn't sure if you had. Just because she is smart, doesn't make her any less of a child. She is still a little girl. How many little girls do you know are able to get out of a horrible situation like that? Even a girl like Arya, would have a hard time with this sort of imprisonment. permalinkembedsaveparentreportgive goldreply [–]Original_Redditard[S] 0 points an hour ago gee, maybe being so damn smart with 2 working legs and four languages would help with an escape. permalinkembedsaveparenteditdisable inbox repliesdeletereply [–]YouBetterNotDieThe She-Wolf of Winterfell. [score hidden] an hour ago She learned those languages when she was a slave, she wasn't stolen with that knowledge already there. That means that by the time she learned all those languages, she was well known as a slave. If anyone was to notice a small child talking to different people in different languages, she would have been caught and killed. She would have been smart enough to realize that. permalinkembedsaveparentreportgive goldreply [–]Original_Redditard[S] 1 point an hour ago You'd only talk in one language to one person at a time. She was so smart she;d know that. permalinkembedsaveparenteditdisable inbox repliesdeletereply [–]Higher_Primate [score hidden] an hour ago Because she got captured.
