The only reason I mentioned you, is from my observation that you, the OP and DumbleDorf have been very passionate about not having ethnic minorities like Asian or black represented in fantasy characters. If I have mistaken you for someone else, then I apologize. I agree this thread is a trainwreck. I want to set the record straight that I am not against elves looking like elves just that I don't see a problem with them having somewhat of a real world ethnic minority representing. Since DnD is all about storytelling and how you, the player, sees the world and characters.
You are mistaken, at least when it concerns me, I cannot speak for anyone else. I have been an advocate to have both options so that everyone is happy. I have stated so multiple times.

Some traditional looking heads for those of us who prefer an alienness to our elves, and the human like version for those who want to see themselves represented.
I don't agree with it. I dont think a fantasy race needs to represent anything other than themselves, and before you mention, I am mixed race myself.
Still. It doesn't have to be one way or the other. It can be both and everyone is happy.
