#Jaehaera deserves better than being used in racist comments

[jnwh92]

That the only reason some Greens want Jaehaera to be the mother of Aegon III's children is because she's white brings out the worst in me.

I totally understand those who wish this because Jaehaera's death seems unfair (I totally agree with this) and unnecessary to them, because they want Alicent's line not to be extinguished or whatever, but for some to just say "because she's white"... Really, those levels of racism are surprising.

We don't even have a confirmed hint of how Daenaera will be portrayed in the series (and if we get to that part!), because unlike the rest of the Velaryons, of whom a few only describe themselves as having no more that "silver hair and lilac eyes", Daenaera is fully described and leaves no room for her to be altered.

And yes, I understand that it's annoying when in series/movies producers alter the physical features of characters whose traits are fully detailed in literary sagas, I can understand it because I am an obsessive lover that the characters are respected as they are described in the books, but even if she's played by a black actress, what would be the problem with that? She can be the wife of Aegon III and mother of his children quietly as canon says!! Her skin color doesn't have to affect anything.

And then they say "oh, but the 'curse' of the Targaryen heirs", the "curse" is only about black-haired Targaryen princes, no one talks about skin colors. So it doesn't enter into the equation for them to want to remove Daenaera either.

Tell me that your reason for Jaehaera and Daenaera's fate being altered is because you want a happy ending for the little princess Targaryen and I would understand your opinion, something totally respectable. But that the only reason they give for that change is because she's white... Honestly, just say you're racist, don't want a black woman married to a Targaryen king, and you don't really care about Jaehaera's fate.

I shouldn't, but the truth is that these comments surprise me a lot with the level of racism that the ASOIAF fandom has. I feel like the next time I read something like that I wouldn't be able to contain my answer.
