Watch any western made before the 70s and the similarities to Orcs are all over the screen.That persception of natives was common parlance in the USA until the 70s, when it started to switch to the 'Noble Savage' which is in it's own right equally annoying, albeit not as physically dangerous a label. At least they're not sterilizing our women and taking away the children anymore - something that also ended in the 70s. Now they just act like we have cosmic wisdom and live to hug trees, furry animals, or run casinos.-shrug-It's not just that though. You can match a lot of the behavoir of these races to old negative stereotypes given to human ethnic groups.Not that long ago in American history, people seriously portrayed a lot of non whites in ways very similar to how these non humans are portrayed. In essense, a lot of them feel like they were copied from humanity's darker labels. When they start showing patterns in skin tone it throws up reg flags to us survivors of racism.As I said above, on close inspection I think a lot of it may be coincidence - but it certainly does not look that way on the surface.</blockquote>
