D&D racism, subtooting someone not on here
if you can't make a D&D campaign compelling without having at least one species of Inherently Evil Bad People Who Are Just Naturally Warlike, you're probably racist, and also a really lazy writer 🤷♀️

@jacethechicken Oh gods D&D has /so/ much of this shit in general, too. Species having predefined alignments! Dragons! All the chromatic dragons are Inherently Evil and all the metallic dragons are Inherently Good!
ugh.
(Other systems often seem to be a bit better about this, fortunately.)

@IceWolf alignment is meaningless at the best of times, but when applied to entire species it's just Actively Terrible. I ignore it all the time, and have considered remaking a monster manual without alignments included at all (among other changes)

@jacethechicken @IceWolf I've made some notes on a similar subject for my campaign, peeling away the racial biases on various lineages and even removing the chromatic/metallic dichotomy from dragonkind in favour of associating them with minerals in general
I also took humans out of the spotlight and moved the majority of them into their own little space, which is ruled by zealots with claims of divine right and considerably behind the rest of the world's progress
Also added foretbwat's imp/sylvan goblins to the setting because they heckin' cute
