What does that say about him? {He's missing the point.}

[ back to the drawing board on his modern culture 101 course ... ]

I think it says more about this place than it says about him specifically. We don't exactly have a lot of black people, men or women, that high up where I'm from.

{Modern culture doesn't make sense.}

I did not know such importance was placed on one's skin color. {In Middle Earth, it can be a sign of where someone was born, but beyond that, it isn't a determining factor.}

[ he won't argue with that. ]

It is what it is, even when it shouldn't be. I'm guessing y'all got the whole line of succession thing going too, back home?

I see no sound reasoning behind it. {It's rather like judging someone based on their hair color or eye color.} Yes. Elves, Dwarves and Men follow a line of succession unless a line comes to an end or somehow falters.

All of it, man. All of it.

[ kings and magic and ur gr8. ]

I can dig that last one, there. What if the people don't like who the counselor chooses?
