I get their thinking behind it and am supportive of issues of representation, but we are talking about creatures that are different species. When we talk about human beings, there is nothing inherently/significantly about our body/brain structure, regardless of whether you are black, brown, white, or green. Saying Vietnamese have less intelligence than Egyptians but more dexterity than Canadians makes little sense as they are all human. In D&D, Chultans should not be significantly different than Waterdavians. In game like D&D, we are talking about different creatures/beings altogether. It is sort of like saying that we cannot acknowledge that chipmunks are faster than turtles or that chimps are not smarter than robins. I think having the occasional strong kobold or smart orc can be quite fun, but at my table, I am going to continue with kobolds being GENERALLY weaker than humans and orcs being GENERALLY dumber than humans.</blockquote>
