The new asi makes races more the same abd interchangeable. Might as well erase all races. That's where we're headed. Gotta erase racial differences amongst fantasy races because of evil real life racists who can't see all humans in the real world are equal - an issue on all aides if the political spectrum.
Fantasy races should remain untainted by that kind of garbage.
Its more that a player can come up for the idea of a character, make them any race they want from an rp perspective, and have them still be viable. If anything it'll increase the number of different races you find at the table.
As we've already addressed the race asi's don't even make sense from a lore pov, it's purely a relic from old rules. And and D&D keeps chasing the mainstream audience old relics like this have got to go so new players can be be allowed to play what they wish.
So basically what your saying is either that todays new players/young generation are entitled, unwilling to learn, accept tradition and existing systems, and need changes to comfort their selfish sensibilities, or better yet all of the above.
New players havent had any problems playing D&D 5E before, meaning, it doesnt need to change now either. The only reason for these changes are because of a very vocal minority with an agenda, and we all know it.
