So a little show with a marginal following called Community was accused of perpetrating Black Face stereotyping as a result of an episode in which a character dressed up as a Drow. In this political climate, Larian would be asking for controversy if they were to institute any sort of racial prejudice against non European looking races in their game. Agree or disagree it is the prudent course of action.
In a sane world, people would just laugh at those who complained about that and then tell them to fuck off.
