10 Problems With Game Of Thrones Nobody Wants To Admit

5. It's Pretty Racist, Guys

One of the other unfortunate fantasy tropes Game Of Thrones frequently falls foul of is being totally racist. Both figuratively and literally. The principal cast is almost totally lilly-white, if you ignore the amount of muck and gore they have splattered over them much of the time; the cream of the crop of British actors make up the core ensemble, with cream being the operative word. The Hawaiian-born Jason Momoa, meanwhile, got cast in the role of Khal Drogo, leader of the Dothraki, a group made up primarily of non-white actors who are violent savages who kill and rape each other for sport. Which is about one step away from putting bones through their noses and calling them jungle bunnies, quite frankly. It gets all the more worse when Daenerys Targaryen, the Dothraki Khalessi by marriage, freeing a bunch of slaves from Yunkai in the third season. Slaves she intends to take on as her members of her army. Who are mostly black and amass around their blonde haired, blue eye, white saviour. Not so good.
