At the height of Woke as well.
Kinda funny how much the showrunners fumbled that bag. Anyway Knight of the seven kingdoms is pretty good

Theres some interview with RR Martin where he was asked about this scene in the show and he drops a gotcha along the lines of "well in the book theyre never described as being black, it was just a coincidence because we filmed in a country where the extras we hired were all black"
Its posted on youtube somewhere as a "RR Martin owns the libs" kind of thing

Found the short
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
IIRC this scene was filmed in Spain. D&D were going on about how these are all just tanned white people from the Mediterranean.
In the short I shard Martin says its filmed in Morocco. They could have filmed the Yunkai scenes in a few locations tho.
