Elves should be some mystical, religious middle eastern group
Dwarves should be Russians/Eastern Euros/Greeks
Humans should be white Europeans
And orcs? You know.

Fantasytards are playing in the shitpits of a dead genre exclusively using DnD 5e while sci-fi CHADS continue to play a multitude of games across a multitude of settings

90% of non-tolkien fantasy settings just make it sci-fi anyway

Tolkien, who was British, based the orcs on the Irish: they're a corrupted version of elves (read: white people), they're violent, they use fire and bombs as weapons, and they worship the pope
