Almost any game, book, phrase, or comment can be bent to be racially motivated and a means of hate if you look at it hard enough and twist things around until they fit into an ever so popular demand for exposing racial hatred.
Myself, I believe it's just a game and I don't read anything else into it to satisfy a need I might have to point out a wrong.
I would really like to see just one discussion where someone does not play the race card.
I would like the idea of an Orc type race and an elven race and to me no fantasy game is complete without dwarfs.
