Talk:Tyene Sand

White Tyene?
"The SDCC 2014 press release described Tyene as the daughter of Oberyn and Ellaria - which is very confusing: Oberyn is a "salty Dornishman" and Ellaria is a "sandy Dornishman", both non-white characters. If TV-Tyene is indeed Ellaria's daughter, they cast her based on her biography in the novels, then when they changed her TV series biography they did not recast accordingly."

That makes absolutely no sense. Rosabell Laurenti Sellers is Italian. Pedro Pascal is Chilean. Indira Varma is half-Indian half-Swiss (though of Italian descent.) Spaniards (and descendants of them) and Italians look pretty much alike —as a Spaniard, I can assure you of that. Southerners in both countries are more tanned and look “less white”, and Northerners pretty much all look pale and rosy, though very few are blondes. They’re white, though I guess in some cultures they are set apart as “latino” —e.g. in America, it seems “white” was until very recently only used for WASPs, and has only broadened as of late. Anyway, whatever you call it, the point is Pascal and Sellers (and half of Varma) are of a very similar ethnicity. —ArticXiongmao (talk) 23:44, March 2, 2015 (UTC)
