Oh yea! I remember that. But the Ice and Fire world has non white regions so it looks dumb to have black people for the sake of having blacks people for a group that has been clearly described as white. But then again, when I read the wheel of time I thought the book was clear on the descriptions of the characters. Also since wheel of time had plenty of women in the books and different races once they left their village I figured they wouldn’t need to change anything. How naive I was.
