“Viserys sold my mother’s crown, and men called him a beggar. I shall keep this one, so men will call me a queen.”
“the shape of a three-headed dragon; the coils were yellow gold, the wings silver, the heads carved from jade, ivory, and onyx.”

She would sooner have returned to Meereen on dragon’s wings, to be sure. But that was a desire Drogon did not seem to share. — A Dance with Dragons

So I'm not totally sure how prevalent this idea is with Daenerys antis, but I've seen more than one person talk about how Dany was racist towards the Dothraki and Ghiscari. This is, of course, ridiculous. Dany embraces both these cultures when she lives among them and even considers staying with them multiple times. Yes, she disagrees with and is even disturbed by some of the traditions these cultures have, but these traditions are ones of slavery, rape, and injustice. We the readers should also recognize these are not good traditions.
In every culture, there are traditions that are harmful, this is an unfortunate consequence of our humanity. No matter what country, city, etc you are coming from, there are things in the history of the place and people that are not good. The same is true of the world of ASOIAF. Slavery of Old and New Ghis, the right of the First Night in the North, the Ironborn's practice of taking thralls and salt wives, the Dothraki raping the women of whomever they defeat, the human experimentation in Valyrian, the invading armies of Westeros raping and burning the smallfolk. All these are practices meant to be condemned by the reader and acknowledged by povs as being wrong. Acknowledging a huge flaw like legal rape and fucking slavery is not being racist!
When Viserys calls the Dothraki barbarians and is actually racist towards them, Dany defends them and claims them as her own people. After all, she believes at this point that she will spend the rest of her life among the Dothraki. Now someone could try to argue that Dany refusing to stay a Khaleesi in the Dothraki Sea after Viserys' death is an example of her looking down on them ("If I were not the blood of the dragon...this could be my home.")
However, this is, firstly, not about race, second of all, this isn't about her thinking she's better than them, this is about her perceived duty to her house. Viserys raised her to believe it is their duty to their house to reclaim the IT, and not that he's dead, the duty lies solely on her and her unborn child. She isn't the only character who sacrifices her happiness out of perceived duty, Jon joins the Night's Watch because of this and literally anything Tyrion does on Tywin's orders or for Cersei.
With the Ghiscari, Dany only has issues with the slavers. She loves the slaves and is driven to free them, and, let me remind everyone, slavery in ASOIAF is not race-driven, that was another thing the show fucked up on. When Dany rules in Meereen, she embraces the culture quickly, just like with the Dothraki. She wears the traditional clothing, learns Ghiscari, and has Ghiscari nobles and freedmen on her counsel.
Any and all negative thoughts and associations Dany has with Ghiscari traditions (the tokar, the wedding ceremony) are because of the false peace and the continued power of the slavers. She hates how it feels to put on the tokar because it's a reminder that she is constantly compromising with the slavers and is allowing the Astapori and Yunkai'i slaves to fall back into chains. She doesn't want to marry Hizdahr because she knows he is working with the Harpy and he is constantly pressuring her to give into other demands by the slavers. The only traditions Dany has issues with are associated with slavery and the false peace in Meereen.
Daenerys isn't ever racist towards the Dothraki or Ghiscari, she values their council, and respects their traditions except the ones revolving around rape and slavery. She is only driven to take the IT because of perceived duty to her house. Daenerys is unhappy in Meereen because she hates slavery and is dissatisfied with the false peace there.

Fan: Is there a reason as to why Silver died in the show?
George: That surprised me too when I saw it because Silver is definitely not dead in the books. In fact, I was just writing a scene of The Battle of Meereen which opens The Winds Of Winter where Dany is gone from the city so Ser Barristan rides Silver into battle to conjure her up… I guess they just wanted to show how dangerous the crossing of the red waste is. On the other hand, although they killed the horse, they kept the handmaid alive. You may recall that in the book one of Dany's handmaids dies of thirst and sickness and dehydration while crossing the red waste…

What do you see as the end game for Slaver's Bay? Do you think Dany will return or will we just see the beginnings of the Shavepate's takeover from Barristan's POV (up until his "in their hands, the daggers" moment) and then just wild rumours?
For one, I don't think we're going to be entirely lacking a POV in or around Meereen. While yes, I absolutely believe that Barristan is going to be murdered by the Shavepate/his Brazen Beasts in "Barristan III" TWOW, remember that Tyrion is with the Second Sons, who have (as of "Tyrion II" TWOW) re-declared their allegiance to Daenerys. When (not if) the battle outside Meereen turns to the favor of the pro-Dany forces, Tyrion is going to be part of that victorious side - and with the confusion of post-victory leadership in Meereen (between what I think is coming with the Shavepate's purge of his enemies, the death of Barristan, and the arrival of not just Tyrion (and Jorah) but also Moqorro and, for however long he lasts, Victarion), Tyrion may have the chance he needs to put his intelligence, shrewdness, and leadership experience to use.
As far as Dany goes, I do think she'll come back to Meereen, for the basic fact that her army, and indeed what I'll call for lack of a better term her court/following, is still there. Dany may have realized at the end of ADWD that she was not meant to stay in Meereen, that she was meant to be a queen in Westeros rather than in Slaver's Bay, but as a practical matter she needs more than personal confidence and a single dragon to turn a paper crown into a reality. While I doubt she'll stay for any significant length of time in Meereen - Dany has important business to get to in Volantis and probably Pentos, not to mention the Stepstones and Westeros - I do think she'll come back to gather her forces, set someone as her successor, and bid a permanent farewell to Slaver's Bay.

Dany Month Day 1: Politics
I wanted to draw how I think the cities of Slaver’s Bay might be drawn on future maps, to symbolize Dany’s impact on the cities. I couldn’t narrow it down to a single political action, since I find pretty much everything she’s doing here impressive and admirable.

"I want your leaders," Dany told them. "Give them up, and the rest of you shall be spared." Daenerys Page 980
Other than having to draw the Silver, I'm happy with how this one turned out. The hardest part was coming up with Daenerys's dragon crown, which I suspect should have been significantly smaller.
