Message: <blockquote data-quote="el-remmen" data-source="post: 9682879" data-attributes="member: 11">If we define racism as a group (or groups) in social and economic power systematically exploiting a segment of society either intentionally or unintentionally in order to maintain that power and potentially extract resources from that subgroup, whose purported negative traits are believed to be inherent by some individuals in both groups (or are indoctrinated into believing that), and express opinions and behaviors to that effect, then my games definitely have "in-game racism."  Not because goblins are inherently evil, but because some people believe it to be true and use the any conflict (either current or historically) between those peoples as evidence, and act accordingly.I get that not everyone wants that in their game - but for my own tastes, I want the world we game in to reflect various elements of our own world but in the fantasy milieu.As for the meme, I too don't think the creator was trying to suggest these are the only two options, but giving two distinct options that had a wide range of possibilities between them (and beyond them).</blockquote>
