Here is why I relate to DnD half elves:
I& #39;m half Korean. The rest is white and Native American (I& #39;m a Chickasaw citizen)
Being half means I& #39;m always going to be other. In white communities, I& #39;m asian, and in asian communities, I& #39;m white.

Here are quotes from the PHB:
"Walking in two worlds but truly belonging to neither"
"To humans, half-elves look like elves, and to elves, they look human." Sound familiar?
"...half-elves are uncommon enough that one might live for years without meeting another." Yup.

"They range from under 5 ft to about 6 ft tall, and from 100 to 180 pounds." Even the physical description is spot on?!
This one made me laugh: "They tend to have the eyes of their elven parents."

"Many half-elves learn at an early age to get along with everyone, defusing hostility and finding common ground."
I& #39;ve always had odd groups of friends. Popular kids, misfits, I got along with everyone. Except this one racist kid.

Anyways, I wonder how much of this is intentional. With the orc coding, it likely could be?
obviously, if it were intentional, this isn& #39;t painful in the way the orc and half orc is painful. It& #39;s just that I find it fascinating how closely it reflects my own experience being of half a race?
