Red Rivers peeps are darker skinned than your typical “white.” Rand is specifically noted for being much fairer than normal, even with a farmer tan.
It’s why they stand out from the pseudo-English that surround them.
Why would you assume otherwise and then get mad about it?
If there’s an ethnicity they would resemble, it’s certainly not “Anglo.” Even an ambiguous “Mediterranean” doesn’t explain why Rand’s tan wouldn’t let him blend in.
So you are right, in a way, but in a way we all know you didn’t intend by “ethnically diverse”
