Having an awareness of the hobby that goes back more than three years helps. Shadowrun's been using them as a 100% explicit stand-in for black Americans since 1989. AggieCon had a panel about fantasy races as stand-ins for real ethnicities back in 2015. Ain't new.

This doesn't contradict my statement. Furthermore in the greater context of the Tolkien lore , the ACTUAL origins of Orcs in Faerie stories and Myths , from which Tolkien drew from , the assertion that Orcs are a racist stand in falls the fuck apart.
