  • S3E7 - Game of Thrones: House of Diversity
    Jan 17 2024

    Games of Thrones is an epic series that spans seven seasons. Like many of the other IP in previous episodes, Doni and Robert discuss why George R.R. Martin created a world that lacks ethnic diversity in positions of power and reduces the people of color to positions of slavery and savages. Was this a culturally tone deaf oversight or a creative decision in attempts to reflect the real world? Tune in to this episode of Mixed Take to hear what Doni and Robert have to say on that matter.
