| Topic | Orcs are trending on twitter Are Orcs in fantasy literature racist caricature? |

People are only talking about Tolkien here insofar as D&D races were inspired by Tolkien. But more seriously, am I reading you incorrectly or are you suggesting there aren't black humans in D&D? Because there are obviously black humans in D&D. I don't think we can say orcs/half-orcs are just a stand-in for black people if we have black humans in-game that aren't like orcs/half-orcs. Full disclosure, most of my involvement with D&D comes from PC games based on it. Baldur's Gate, Pathfinder, etc. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
