[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8932627, member: 19857"] The Native racist caricatures hit me at the time because I lived in the West so they were obvious to me. But like I said it was all worse than I remembered when I went back to read it. I think part of it comes from the very design of the book which was "oh the humanoids aren't humans and so their cultures are comedic mockeries of the real human cultures that are around them". And then the cultures around them were the Ethengar (fantasy Asian sterotypes) and Atruaghin (fantasy Native American sterotypes) and so the humanoid cultures became parodies of those and ... yeah there's no way that's going to turn out well. Both of the supplements that were actually trying to treat those cultures respectfully have aged as well as any late 80s/early 90s American attempt to do that and so have their own issues. The one that parodies those cultures started out bad and has aged worse. [/QUOTE]
