Without a doubt, one of the great successes for HBO has been House of the Dragon, a series that had great impact on its first episode last week, but not everyone is happy with the result of the work. Since a certain part of the public has shown that they still do not accept African-American actors in their programs and justSteve Toussaint * speaks about it.
According to what is commented on the books, the people of the family Velaryon is described by having pale skin, something that does not make sense of the public, and before this, they have come to complain with the own HBO . As a consequence, Steve has proceeded to answer users to take the matter very seriously, making it clear that it may not be the subject of the character itself, but of racism.
This is what he commented:
People are happy watching a dragon fly. They are happy watching white hair and violet eyes, but seeing a black man being rich? They don't accept that.
He also speaks how people bother from the diversity that has entered more common in cinema and entertainment:
Many people are based their idea of the history of this country on some films and things that were done in the 50s, 60s and 70s, which do not look anything like the truth. Historically, the people of my color and yours, we did not appear here in the 70s or 60s. There was a time when the ruler of his country, El César, was an African man. There are street names that tell you that there were people who looked like us in this country, even then, but for some reason, it seems very difficult to swallow for people.
Remember that House of the Dragon is available in HBO Max .
