They’re outright comparing orcs to black people. If you didn’t know any better then you’d think this was a parody.
Who the hell is promoting stereotypes that black people are “ugly, warlike, and malevolent”?
Some stray racist does, no doubt. It is their generalisation that led to this whole new fiasco.
Actually, their "reasoning" fails on an incredible number of basic levels.
Let's consider D&D. In D&D "alignment" can be considered as "how a specific behaviour is seen from the point of view of a normal
neutral human." Orcs developed they culture according to their natural characteristics: they are neither intelligent nor wise but they are very strong. Their natural desire of survival as a species depends,
as with any other species, from using their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses. To our neutral-aligned human they are evil and chaotic - because "laws" require both wisdom and intelligence. In the Orc culture the strongest win, laws, respect and social order be damned.
Failing to understand this undermines a key pillar in this new EC failure: Orcs can "choose" just fine what to do! Within their cultural upbring of course, they psychophysical nature and their understanding of how the World works. Ironically, a simple check of the Monster Manual gives their alignment as "
Often Chaotic Evil", not always. In the Forgotten Realms you can find pacifist Orcs, followers of Eldath.
(One could point out how there are "stupid lawful evil creatures". Look closer and you will see how often they are embedded in societies ruled by intelligent LE creatures - keeping their heads down and follow the rule is their way of surviving).
One could sum everything up by pointing out how on our reality only human beings are intelligent and advanced. A fantasy world has a lot more races and cultures. You simply can't do a 1:1 comparison.
Once you grasp this, it becomes easy to see how true "racism" can very well exist - within a race. White men can be racist towards black men. Sun elves can be racist towards Wood Elves. And "Red Hand Tribe" Orcs can be racist towards all other "inferior" tribes. Ironic, uhu?
Why something so simple was so hard to grasp is beyond me.
