1: Attempts To Change The Racist Stereotype
If you remove what it is well known and what is wrong you have nothing left and this are the people who claim to be fans.
There are literally dark brown skinned elves... Which are known as a more savage and brutal and stronger, faster, but less mentally swift elf subspecies: The wood elves, compared to the high elves.
You'd think if they were ready to complain about racial stereotypes, it would be that the pale elves have int bonuses while the tan elves don't. Drow are one of the strongest elf subspecies, rivaled only by elemental elves and averiels (winged elves), complaining "we're literally leagues stronger than all other elves, because we're black, how tragic and racist" is so dumb, there's clearly better targets. But that would require the writer to actually know D&D, which I guess is too much to ask.
I think wild elves have brown skin and wood elves are described as tanned, or something stupid like that.
Thing is that drow elves are iconic, wild elves or wood elves are what ever, you can remove them entirely and no one would care. For the average guy, there are high elves and drow and that is about it.
Drow have lore, books and fans. You must hurt the fans.
Those who wanted to play as a drow played as one without issues, you had to wear a disguise or people would fear you, it was special and interesting. Now they want to remove the evil race stigma, which kind of sucks, it removes what was interesting to play as one to begin with.
