Valyrian is an ethnicity in the books. And Valyrians were very much not diverse at all. They thought they are superior, and it was taboo for them to marry the "lesser" races, especially because their genes comtain the magic dragon connections.

Black Velaryons don't make sense from a lore perspective, and it's kinda hilarious whenever Corlys talks about his "pure valyrian blood", but it doesn't matter much to the show and the acting is still great.

It's at least a bit better than the pure tokenism in Rings.
