If anything it makes them seem more 'human'. Take the previous example and
swap "Rednecks" for orks, "Blacks" for humans, and so on... See what
I
mean? Racial intolerance, prejudice, and hate are a fundamental part of
human nature. By denying Orks, Trolls, and other metahumans such flaws,
you make them 'less' human.
