Its that racism is fantasy is portrayed as anything positive at all, regardless of the situation. racism is just plain wrong on principle, and portraying it as a thing necessary to fight evil in a fantasy is just disgusting to me. I'm not saying you can't have racism in your setting, but racism as anything positive or necessary is just plain wrong, full stop. thats what results from races that are "Always chaotic evil", and this is from somebody who loves action and fighting! I don't mind killing mooks, but the weird racial component that people insist DnD and fantasy take on it is baffling and stupid.
