The Two Rivers folk are considered "Darker" than the rest of Andor. That is mentioned in the books several times.

However, Jordan most likely meant Greek/Mediteranean and not black judging from his past comments.

I try not to get too hung up on race. Its not really a big deal in this universe, as it is already written as a very, very diverse world.

I also try not to get hung up on race, but in my mind the two rivers people felt like white country folk to me with Rand the only one that didn't quite look like everyone else as his mother was from outside of the two rivers. I missed the references of them looking darker then the rest of Andor, Pperhaps I need to read the books again.

You say you try not to get hung up on race but you have posted on at least 2 boards about how Jordan claims two rivers folk are darker. Knowing full well they are not black. Yet anytime someone mentions this you come in and try to defend it by saying Jordan said they were darker. Are you being paid to do this? It's clear that they strayed from the story to make a diverse cast but you always come in with the pretense that its was alluded to in the story,which it was not. Why have you started this same thread over and over again? Agenda much? You already started this thread a month ago why not post in it? This casting is a clear case of forced diversity and you start threads just to try to defend it. It's getting old.
