This is of course not true on Earth, where it's all homo sapiens sapiens. Light skin or dark skin, same species.  (And since of course, there are no elves or gnomes or dragonborn on earth, there's a level of separation, there, to make any changes comfortable.)With that said, yeah, we can (and have) talked about fantasy racism, where there are at least two separate conversations. First, the is the idea of 'inherently evil' people like orcs; and second, whether or not racism is informing certain elements of the fantasy world. But that's a whole 'nother two buckets of worms.</blockquote>
