In this essay, we delve into the controversial decision by Wizards of the Coast to remove half-elf and half-orc characters from the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy game, labeling them as racist. We explore the implications of this decision, the importance of mixed-race characters in D&D, and the prevalence of mixed-race relationships and marriages. We also examine the genetic evidence for mixed-species mating in human history and the racist implications of Wizards of the Coast’s decision. Finally, we discuss the need for change in the gaming industry and the implications for society as a whole.
