Jeremy Crawford, one of the lead designers of Dungeons & Dragons, raised some eyebrows recently when he announced the new Player’s Handbook for the popular tabletop roleplaying game would remove half-species, such as half-elves, calling the concept “inherently racist.” We discuss the backwards idea that race mixing, whether in fantasy or real life, is racist along with a teenager being disqualified from a Pokemon tournament after being asked his pronouns, teabagging being banned from an “inclusive” Overwatch 2 tournament, Netflix’s Cleopatra being black, and J.
