Kagha is a vehicle for any demagogue ever and has nothing to do with Trump. The problem is not that she has disagreeable views but that her character is nonsensical.

The modern phenomenon of borders comes from the idea of nationhood and sovereignty. Faerûn is a medieval fantasy world where there are toll houses and trade routes like in our middle ages, but no legally recognised and rigid borders because of the way vassalage works and how decentralised medieval realms are. I think Larian knows this, because besides the Tieflings everyone is everywhere; there is no Africa analogue where all the black humans come from, no Asia or Europe etc. which is why there is two black humans in the druid grove and thus racism should not exist in the way it does in our world unless you find a reall hamfisted way to force it into your story. Like bringing an entire outside race over from another dimension. 🙄

You can't have your cake and eat it too. Either Faerûn is a colourblind wonderland where racial differences are overlooked or races have distinct homelands that they rarely travel away from, which means our party is looked at funny everywhere they go. Come to think of it, this problem is kind of like your average IRL DnD session where everyone is an absurd exotic rare and nothing in your party makes sense. You ignore it because it makes you uncomfortable when you dwell on it too much.
