I don't remember Salvatore's Drizzt books being especially great social commentary on racism.

This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

No thanks, they were good when I was 9 years old, but I don't think I could stomach Salvatore anymore. Why don't you instead tell me what Salvatore has to say about racism? Drow =/= black people.

Refuting Xant shan't be a problem for Jarlek, for he is educated in social issues, and dare I say that his ability to draw parallels between fiction and fact is impressive! Who would've thought the colour of the drows' skin colour was in fact a reference to African-Americans? Bravo, bravo!!

I don't know what's saddest.

Bjord thinking me saying "I read books" is bragging or his jokes.

No thanks, they were good when I was 9 years old, but I don't think I could stomach Salvatore anymore. Why don't you instead tell me what Salvatore has to say about racism? Drow =/= black people.
Yeah, his later books have been pretty shait and I agree even his old books aren't as good as when I read them as a kid.

Drow =/= black people is correct, but prejudice-because-drow = prejudice-because-*colour*. And the Dark Elf Trilogy is all about finding acceptance in a world were you are different.

No, not at all. People are not prejudiced against drow because of their color. Their color merely identifies them as drow.

Also, for Bjord reading books is a big achievement, so be gentle.

Yeah, hating drow because of their race (technically, isn't it species? Unless you are another kind of elf) makes more sense than hating another human cause of his race, since we don't have any evil-god-worshiping, kill-all-other-even-children murdering, xenophobic lunatics which drows are. We can't blame them for hating drows, but we can see the parallels in that Drizzt, a drow that isn't evil and only wants to fit in, has with people trying to fit in in areas where their race isn't the average and being shut out, even though they themselves are more similar to the race they try to fit in with than average of their own race.

Fuck, I ought to make that last paragraph more readable, but zzZZZZzzzz.

Also, while it's a big achievement for him and he gets angry at the rest of us for finding it east, we really shouldn't mock him. That's just mean.

You seem so proud about how much you read, Jarlek. I think you should put more energy into learning how to write.
