I'm open to other arguments, but to me it seems like "nearly every person in this culture is evil" is the bigger problem than "there is a group of subterranean elves with dark skin."
I think about the cruelest, most evil societies in modern history, and even they had plenty of people trying to resist the power structures of the villains in charge, with most of the everyday citizens being force-fed lies and propaganda and being threatened with prison or death if they question the official line.
If WotC wants to do it, hey, it doesn't really bother me. It's not the answer I would've gone with, but I suppose it's less effort than removing all conceits of racism from a game that has a tradition of sorting morality by color.
