Exactly!
I don't know, I see a PATTERN in Robert Jordan's casting choices, and I see an identical PATTERN in the text: the main cast is WHITE.
Many readers do not understand that Elaida was wrong when she said what she said in TEOTW. There's a similar mistake in 'black-eyed Aielmen', many characters in the books really believe this statement (which is untrue), but many readers do not care the description of the characters, according to them everybody is black, except in Andor, but many readers say nowadays that even that's not true, because there are maybe a dozen (or rather a half-dozen) white people in Randland, and everybody else is black. I think Robert Jordan (and Tolkien, and GRRM etc) himself will be described as a black lesbian (what is the latest fashion, nonbinary or what?) in a few months/years.
(By the way, see the case of Rowling vs HP fansites from last year: 'Two of the biggest Harry Potter fan sites remove photos of JK Rowling and links to her website because of her 'harmful and disproven beliefs' amid 'transphobia' row. The Leaky Cauldron and Mugglenet, who have 1 million followers, have issued a joint statement distancing themselves from the Harry Potter author')
