      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.

      Hell, this goes back to Tolkien and LotR (and he was actively trying to not write racism but did it anyway because of the culture permeating his thinking.) But people gotta freak out at any new information.

      Yep, his orcs were patterned after "the least lovely ... features of the mongol races" by his own admission. Then you have essentially all urban fantasy pigeonholing them as the inner city uneducated underclass, frequently in violent gangs. Hmm. No symbolism THERE.

      He wasn't actually trying that hard, when a film director wanted to make the Orcs less implicitly racist by making them not human at all (having them be bird monsters) he got mad That's where the quote calling Orcs "Mongol-types" comes from, he was actively insisting on it

      They are NOT human dumbass. They never were. They are Humanoid beings like the Elves. Orcs in LotR are mutated elves marred by the Dark God Melkor. That are Tolkien's variation of old world Demonic beings from Faerie stories and myths. Learn some actual history you buffoon.

          Look if you think this letter is out of date then you're saying that if the next version of D&D actually does make Orcs into bird people nobody will get mad right It's fine, they're not supposed to have anything to do with real people in the first place, let's give them feathers
