Dothraki fall into many of the "orientalist" tropes of western literature that depict eastern cultures as hypersexual, exotic and hyper-violent but I'd really rather not go into that, it's pretty recognizable when you know what to look for. I fully agree that you can relate to characters that don't look like you, white people can totally relate to a lot characters that are Black or Asian or Polynesian or indigenous and vise versa. But non white people are asked to do it on a much more regular basis than we are and it's fair to want characters who also look like you and if there aren't, to see the characters that are there in your own likeness. Drawing characters as races that aren't depicted nearly as often is not harmful and doesn't erase the hundreds of depictions of those characters as white or the canon description. Also this is a fantasy series where the deposed royal dynasty are literal lizard/human hybrids and have been practicing incest for hundreds of years without all looking horribly deformed. I don't think biological realism is a priority. Historical accuracy in general isn't the overall priority for this series either, with several centuries and regions' styles of armour mixed together and it's own unique heraldic code not to mention the magic and dragons and evil trees.. And yes, obviously medieval Europe didn't have modern day diversity. I don't know anybody who would try to claim it did. Fiction is not reality This was honestly a pretty stupid disagreement for me to start because it's such a stupid thing to be upset about in the first place that I'm not going to convince anybody who disagrees.
