Season 8 has already differentiated itself by being perhaps the first season of Thrones to meaningfully engage with the matter of race in Westeros in a way that reflects. In both of the season's episodes so far, Grey Worm and Missandei have found that they, specifically, are not welcome in the North.

And I don't like it

This is an insular territory filled with people who are naturally wary of military outsiders -which, fair. But even so, these two have been treated with open and recognizable hostility - one that makes it seem as though Northerners are warier of their black skin than they are of their Targaryen allegiance.

It's not fair :(

I wouldn't say necessarily racist. They are just wary of each other because they are different peoples.

It's definitely a topic of the show. And I hope the Northeners really come around

Yeah I'd say so too, I think in our world the idea of races and superior or inferior races came with colonialism at the end of the midle ages, prior to that people were simply xenophobic towards every outsider bc outsiders meant a potential thread, similar to how most teritorial animals react to other animals entering their teritory (wolfes, bears, apes).

And there's so much progress already. The alliance they have now, it wouldn't have been possible some seasons ago

Yes that's true.

Really wondering about their fate.

Me too...especially now with 8x03 coming.
