Crimson Longinus
Legend
Species having ASIs is not inherently problematic. We already accept that they have huge biological differences. Halflings are small, Tortles are reptiles and have shells and Aarkochra are actual birds who can fly. So them having the sort of different capabilities that are best represented by ASIs is not a problem unless you feel that those other biological differences are a problem too. Now in the Orcs many things combined to create very problematic portrayal and int penalty was one part of the 'stupid savage aggressive brute' thing. That can certainly fixed without getting rid of species having ASIs.
Cultures of one species having ASIs is completely another matter.
