[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8490565, member: 22779"] I wasn't being flippant. Both is very much the answer. There is no such thing as a "right" interpretation. If an interpretation of a work can be supported by the text, then it's right. So, yes, drow are both just evil bastards who happen to have black skin - you can certainly find evidence to support that interpretation, AND, yes, drow are racist stereotypes and pretty misogynistic ones too. Personally, I find the rabid anti-feminism of drow far more off putting than the color thing. The color thing at least has some basis in mythology. The rabid anti-feminism though just reeks of neckbeard comic book guy. Hrm, a matriachy that hates men to the point of keeping them as slaves, dressed in femdom leathers and worshipping a black widow spider. :erm: Bit on the nose, even for the 70's. [/QUOTE]
