We wanted to find a way to put diversity in the show, but we didn't want to do it in a way that felt like it was an afterthought or, worse, tokenism.

According to Condal, Martin toyed early on with the idea of depicting the Velaryons as Black conquerors who came to Westeros from the west
According to that lazy fat fuck, he initially thought of making Valyrians as a whole black, yes. But he ultimately didn't, he made them particularly fair-skinned even by Westeros standards. So get fucked with that disingenuous bullshit.

The 'diversity and inclusion' doctrine is literally tokenism. That's why you never hear anyone say that word any more - they know what it used to be called and how it used to be mocked. This guy fucked up by reminding people the word exists at all. He's probably a recent convert to the church who doesn't know the proper prayers.
