LONDON -- British star David Oyelowo has criticised Game of Thronesfor the way the show treats people of colour.
The Busty Cops (2004) Watch onlineactor, who has previously appeared in Selmaand who has two films -- Queen of Katweand A United Kingdom-- showing at this year's London Film Festival, told the Radio Timesthere is "absolutely no excuse in a show like that why there aren't more prominent characters of colour".
SEE ALSO: White, straight, and on screen; report details diversity on TVOyewolo argued that the show marginalises the actors of colour it has cast, and that there should be room for these actors to have bigger roles.
"The fact that they put any ethnic minorities in that means that there should be space for bigger characters," Oyelowo said. "Because you're not just saying, 'OK this is purely a white world, and here are very story-driven reasons why that's the case.'"

"All you have to do is shift the focus to focus on those characters."

Racial diversity in Game of Throneshas been a topic of conversation for a number of years now. Back in 2014, George R. R. Martin responded to a comment on his blog from a fan who wrote to say "the lack of diversity [in the show] really hurts".
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable "Westeros around 300 AC is nowhere near as diverse as 21st century America, of course," wrote Martin in his reply. "But with that being said, I do have some 'characters of color' who will have somewhat larger roles in Winds of Winter".
He went on to argue that show-runners D. B. Weiss and David Benioff are also "doing what they can" to promote diversity in the show, citing the casting of black British actor DeObia Oparei as Areo Hotah.
"Hotah IS a guard... but he is also a viewpoint character in the novels, a brave and loyal warrior," Martin wrote.
