Is the word halfbreed still used in the world other than when someone is teasing their friend? Like if you're the only half-Italian in a group of Italian friends and they affectionately call you half-breed.In South Africa we have a political racial term known as coloureds, a term in USA I believe which is very much a no-no. To give you an example Trevor Noah would be classified as coloured as would his offspring. The term itself, to all South Africans, is not deemed as derogatory at all, it is a racial classification utilised when compiling various statistics.It is going to be tricky to come up with words anddescriptions that do not offend anyone, cater to people's wants/desires and deal with all the races that maybe in question. So for some, stopping with changes for orcs, drow and vistani it will be enough, for others they will want to address all the humanoinds.</blockquote>
