But orcas have pretty different cultures than humans!*You seem to think fantasy species just as different ethnicities of humans. They are not that, they are different species, with different capabilities and temperaments.The approach you describe is ignoring these differences and leads to erasure of the identity of these species. And once you do that (and I ask this again as you did not answer) what is the point of having them? If you want world where there basically are just different cultures of humans, then do that! No need to have fantasy species if they in all practical purposes are just humans.(* And yes, cetaceans do have cultures! Different groups of one cetacean species have different dialects, behavioural patterns, hunting and foraging techniques etc and they teach these to their young.)</blockquote>
