You say that, but I also would not watch a show about a gay disabled wizard with a fetish for Blacks. And if his entire kingdom was clearly modeled after medieval Europe and populated by Whites, I would still call it bad world building to have him be obsessed with being Black—unless that was a deliberate point of contention where his court and subjects dislike him for it. And are right to do so.
Oh yes, he'd have to be a villain in such a context, or at least an antagonistic figure.
