I think @sordak @dethridge @nyanko are right. This is stupid decision on WotC's part. Orcs are not real. Drow are not real. They are not fictionalized representations of real peoples. This decision creates more problems that it solves and it solves nothing.
It would have better by far to say in the past some artwork has suggested links between these imaginary races and real world peoples and WotC will ensure that no artwork make this mistake again.
And to be clear, I am writing from a left perspective. I would never use a word like 'woketard'. This is a decision so bad that it alienate D&D fans left right and center.
