Did all the people of color die out in this future?


Last time I was in Seattle, there was quite a few Asian people there. In a cast of 24 there is one light skinned black female, one very Euro looking Asian male, and one brown skinned male who plays a "Demon Soldier". Maybe this series should take place in future Sweden instead, though Sweden is currently more diverse than this cast.

Here we go again.

This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

no one need diversity in a fantasy epos

Actually, no amount of diversity is really reasonable. In the apocalypse pretty much all humans died. Any modern day humans would be descended from a few dozen or a few hundred, presumably all from north america, at least we never hear about any druids/servants of the light anywhere else. There certainly would not be any races left after, though it is possible the the resultant humanity would be of mixed heritage.

Given current demographic trends, this is much probable than "no diversity"

Actually it kind of means no diversity, in the context.

A man never truly knows what happiness is until he gets married... and by then it's too late.

This made me chuckle 😊
Lucky they cast John Rhys Davies or this Welshie would also be equally outraged!

you're the type that needs an asian, a white guy, a black guy, a homo couple , a lesbian couple and maybe a heterosexual one too and there must be at least an equal number of women else it's either homophobic, racist or sexist right ? Jesus if I get people like you, those are the actors that they selected, I haven't read the book so I don't know if the characters had their skin color described and if they did and they were all white then why add something else ? it doesn't have to include everything, if you find it hard to watch a show just because of that then stay locked in your house because this PC world that you have in your head will never work, it's pure stupidity and you have to look really deep into something to actually start imagining all this crap

reply

I hope so because if there's one more series or movie going out of it's way to be politically correct we're all going to start boycotting until Hollywood stops with this crapola.

🐈 High Their!

Enough with this PC crap!

I couldn't care less about what Seattle was like the last time you visited. This is a fictional fantasy show not real life. If you don't like don't watch it.
