> that as justification for your hate.
lol this is funny considering I'm Black.
I'm glad both had Black actors cashing checks.
The overall point was verisimilitude.
Its fantasy but make it seem real if you want people to invest time in the story.

When did you express hate for any race? We're talking about your hate of a show here. The color of your skin has nothing to do with you hating on RoP.
And my overall point, is you are showing a double standard for you evaluations of the shows and how they did representation.
For RoP, You ignore refuse to accept the show runners lore for their representation, you demand anthropological accuracy, and when it's pointed out to you that they've actually SHOWN you how there would be mixing of homogeneous species and races, you reject that evidence.
But alls HotD has is one quote form the showrunners, and you put your microscope down and just accept what they say. You stopped to consider, wait, how the fuck did this one family stay black when everyone else is white? And before you say "incest", the mixing of races would have come long before any cultural norms of incest would ever be established.
Face it: You like HotD so you will accept any shortcomings. You hate RoP, so you will attack it for anything.
That's cool. But don't pretend you're evaluating things objectively. Own your hypocrisy and double standards.
