[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9244269, member: 22779"] Look, [USER=6790260]@EzekielRaiden[/USER] - I don't want to reopen the can of worms. But, can I just say, that as a parent of bi-racial children, for whom the term "half" is a VERY common epithet, I am perfectly comfortable with the notion of removing the idea that mixed race characters should be held up as completely distinct from both parents. This does not bother me at all. The idea that mixing races somehow creates some sort of "hybrid" that is, by definition in the game, held at arms length and not accepted by the races of the parents is something that some of us have to deal with on a regular basis. So painting those who are perfectly comfortable with the notion of removing the distinct "half" races from the PHB as somehow erasing culture is rather insulting to be honest. I quite honestly have zero problem with D&D dropping the notion that being a "half" anything makes you a completely distinct individual, incapable of belonging to the cultures of either parent.
