[QUOTE="GreenTengu, post: 8021235, member: 6777454"] You are playing semantic games when it is the fundamental idea rather than the term that is causing the issue. "You are wandering through the woods and you see an Orc" the response it "I make an attack roll" Or "You see an elf" "Is it a light skinned or dark skinned elf?" "A dark skinned one* "I make an attack roll" Does it really matter what term you use for "genetic stock" when "non-whites= evil-- please attack on site" and "White skin= Good-- you can trust them unless the DM is pulling a fast one on you". You think switching terminology is at all going to make a difference. And-- ironically-- upon logging in to these boards after like-- 3 years ago-- I noticed that literally the last time I posted on these boards, I responded to someone who said that blacks, asians and whites should have wiped each other out with the argument that "race" was a terrible term to use in D&D and if we used "race" in the real world the way it was used in D&D that all humans would be of the same race. For having made a post arguing against the use of the term "Race" in D&D, I received an infraction from the moderators Darkness and Morrus, the literal owner of these boards, for daring to question the appropriateness of the use of race in D&D. In which I pointed out that if we used "race" in our world for how it is used in D&D that all humans of different, what we called "races", would actually be a single race in D&D terms and actually humans brought about the extinction of all human-like peoples who would be classified as "races" in D&D terms such as neanderthals and australopithecus and homo erectus. But anyone willing to engage in these discussions ought to be well aware of the deeply held Euro-centric views and beliefs of the moderation team of these boards and how they are willing to use their powers to enforce their world view upon others.
