rhaenys-martell-targaryen:latenightsinpemberley:rhaenys-martell-targaryen:Women of Color in Game of ThronesI really want to reblog this but referring to Shae as a woman of colour because she’s…. Turkish? Knowing how this term carries the connotation of oppression, it sure is some us-centric bullshit to refer to her as such, coming from a country that was a tyranic and oppressive power that committed various genocides merely a century ago, among other atrocities within the 20th century.Sibell Kekilli has talked a LOT about the racism she’s dealt with living in Germany. And in US/Western European contexts, Turkish people deal with racism and xenophobia. So yeah, I’m including her here. The only non-white sand snake is Sarella because her mother is a Summer Islander. Literally the Martells are white and are inspired by Spaniards which comes directly from GRRM himself. Hang it up. Flatscreen. -- source link
