from the wikipedia page
this means that the events that took place in the books was set around 4000 BC
not many people besides those who arrived in England about 800,000 years ago lived in England until Roman invasions during the 1st century AD.
The native peoples of England were white
The Romans were mostly white. There were some Egyptians and Middle Easterners due to the Roman presence in those areas. I haven't done enough research into whether or not they spread into the France/Germany areas, but I'm leaning towards the idea that they didn't. -
I'm not against the idea of making literature and films break away from the white as a default race, all I'm saying is know your time period. England didn't have much of diversity pre 1700s besides a couple shades of white. When writing a story that takes place/is based in ye olden times Africa, you can hold off on the white people and have an all black cast. I haven't watched Fant4stic or AoS, but if you're making a story that takes place in a modern setting(aka Fant4stic/Agents of Shield), there's no excuse for not having a diverse cast.

much of what influenced the story was Northern European mythology. Northern Europeans (or at least those native to the section of Europe) have a tendency of being on the whiter side in terms of skin color.
I'm all for asian dwarves and black elves, but only if the argument for them existing in a story is more than diversity for the sake of diversity.
You're right in the idea that modern fantasy does not need to be limited to European inspiration. what I've seen of African/Asian mythology seems like it could hold a lot of potential for a pretty great high fantasy story that contains diversity (so long as diversity isn't the cast's entire personalities because it's really annoying when a story includes characters where race/sexuality is their whole personality).

I will accept your generous gift of Hypothetical Proto and use it to transform my Hurtwig into a Throtle, for use when people talk smack about Grotle.

Pancakes have by far the best maple syrup absorption of the three options. And really, that's why people eat pancakes: so that you can eat as much maple syrup as possible without choking.
okay, I'm probably going to get piles of salt for this but here it goes
ew maple syrup
