The Vintage adult movies watch full movies and downloadactor, who has previously appeared in Selmaand who has two films -- Queen of Katweand A United Kingdom-- showing at this year's London Film Festival, told the Radio Timesthere is "absolutely no excuse in a show like that why there aren't more prominent characters of colour".

"The fact that they put any ethnic minorities in that means that there should be space for bigger characters," Oyelowo said. "Because you're not just saying, 'OK this is purely a white world, and here are very story-driven reasons why that's the case.'"
"Even if for whatever reason, it's a world in which people of colour in those stories are subservient, or they are more in a helper role, that doesn't mean they can't have a prominent storylines," he continued. "All you have to do is shift the focus to focus on those characters."

Racial diversity in Game of Throneshas been a topic of conversation for a number of years now. Back in 2014, George R. R. Martin responded to a comment on his blog from a fan who wrote to say "the lack of diversity [in the show] really hurts".
"Westeros around 300 AC is nowhere near as diverse as 21st century America, of course," wrote Martin in his reply. "But with that being said, I do have some 'characters of color' who will have somewhat larger roles in Winds of Winter".
He went on to argue that show-runners D. B. Weiss and David Benioff are also "doing what they can" to promote diversity in the show, citing the casting of black British actor DeObia Oparei as Areo Hotah.
"Hotah IS a guard... but he is also a viewpoint character in the novels, a brave and loyal warrior," Martin wrote.
