In fact, the Halves- prove, if anything, that racism really doesn't belong in D&D, as it goes to show that humans will hook up with anyone, regardless of background.The first thing that comes to mind is that I'm okay with fantasy races that make no bloody sense.
YOu want 47 different kinds of elf that frequently interact, can interbreed, but somehow maintain distinctiveness for thousands of years? Cool. Dragonboobs, and Lizardfolk that don't have specific issues with cold? I'm good. Monocultures? I'm okay, so long as they aren't racist retreads.

I haven’t watched any of the new stuff (I don’t have those channels)- have any female (or other) gendered humans boldly gone where no one has gone before?Which Kirk and Ryker proved for the sci-fi side...
Beckett Mariner from Lower Decks is a prime candidate.I haven’t watched any of the new stuff (I don’t have those channels)- have any female (or other) gendered humans boldly gone where no one has gone before?
bow chicka wow wow
I think that's more down to the writers' choice of expression than the genre. Penny Dreadful is in a setting of traditional monster horror, which is closer to fantasy than scifi, and it addressed the theme of depression through allegory. Horror has been doing this for a long time, actually. Real world ancient mythology has allegories for many things, and is arguably the original source of modern fantasy (it inspired works like Middle Earth, Conan, D&D, etc).I don't know if I see that kind of thing happening in fantasy stories a lot. So I suppose that's how I treat race/species differently when it comes to science fiction and fantasy. At least that's what I'd like to think. Star Wars has a Wookie just because it's cool not because it's trying to say something.
