Thats it Im gonna homebrew the game super racist now

dwarves now commit crimes 1/day, its just in their blood

No no, silly. Everyone knows the dwarves are secretly metaphors for jews. Their lust for gold, long beards, large noses, lack of dexterity, and secretly planning to control the world's media from their underground lairs is just obvious.

For bonus points, Tolkien-flavored dwarves tend to revere their dwarven forefathers, tracing their lineage back to the dwarf lords of old and forming into clans, just like the Jews divided into tribes based on the 12 sons of Jacob/Israel.

If you really want to lean into hardcore bigotry in a fantasy setting, the elves are all camp gay, orcs are thinly-veiled African tribal savages (and probably all want to kidnap and rape human women), and humans are universally racist assholes (though if you like, you can always have a sub-group of humans who are blatantly Native American-inspired hippie druids/shamans, and just have all the other humans - who are white, naturally - be the racist terrible ones). If you have halflings/hobbits at all, they're exaggerated versions of the Tolkien ones, and sort of come across like fat entitled trust-fund kids, and represent all the worst aspects of Eurocentric consumerism and complacency.

There's actually at least a couple fantasy novels out there that blatantly do this as a sort of satire.
