2. Time Lords Have Always Been White!
(bonus points if they say Mels doesnt count as a Time Lord) Well, technically, theyre right - regarding Mels, that is. Melody (played by Nina Toussaint-White in Lets Kill Hitler) is not by definition a Time Lord as she didnt attend the Time Lord Academy, but she is a
Gallifreyan. Whether you take the Expanded Universe as canon or not, this means she is biologically the same or only a tiny bit different from fully fledged Time Lords like the Doctor, the Master and Romana. And even then, Time Lords havent always been white. In the revived series weve seen at least two black or mixed-race Time Lords, once in The Sound of Drums at the young Masters journey to the Untempered Schism and again in Rassilons Council Rooms. A black Time Lord helps advise Rassilon on the Master and the Doctor. So they may have always been white in the Classic Series, but in this case the Revived Series has been making up for that in tiny increments. Gallifrey
doesnt even exist anymore and weve still seen non-white Time Lords.
