Orcs as written traditionally, are racist tropes. D&D as a game, suffers from bio-essentialism and racism. Orcs aren& #39;t even the only example. Half-races, the fact that entire peoples are treated as monoliths, the Drow being cursed with black skin, & #39;evil races& #39; etc...

I& #39;d like to recommend this thread by Amr Ammourazz if you are curious about learning more and how to potentially address bio-essentialism in your own games. https://twitter.com/ammourazz/status/1254479692968726531">https://twitter.com/ammourazz...
