He worded it wrong.. but i'm team "why ruin the canon of a beloved story?".. Disney and HoTD and ROP can create Relevant POC Characters without ruining defined characters in the original material..
It ruins continuity and it felt too forced to be diverse.. if producers want an inclusive cast then introduce new characters with relevant role not just fillers..
Thankfully, i'm not a big fan of Fire and Blood.. and so far I'm enjoying HOTD, but the OG fans' frustration of a black Velaryon is valid.. i mean i was so frustrated when they casted black Hermione in the play, it ruined the canon..
