Half orcs in previous editions were exclusively products of rape. This move is perfectly in keeping with their recent claims that orcs represent blacks.
Given the left's omnipresent desire to memory hole black criminality, one example of which is their predilection for raping women of other races, you get the result.
Because in DND blacks are portrayed as largely middle eastern or aboriginal cultures.
Whereas orcs behave in precisely the same manner as American blacks. Rapacious, misbegotten, burning plunderers whose concept of property consists of "it mine", with no ability to plan further than the last time they were hungry.

First-generation half-orcs were. Eberron makes it quite clear that there's a marked (pun intended) difference between mongrel half-orcs and true bloodline half-orcs who've descended from other half-orcs for centuries.
it's dumb because the D&D orc is taken wholesale from the tolkien orc... and the tolkien orc was not a representative of blacks, but was created by magic that corrupted high elves making them lust for power and growing them an aversion to concepts like private property...
in other words, orcs aren't blacks... they're communists.
Funnier still. DnD orcs aren't even that close to elves. They were lifted thematically but they do have an origin of their own as a race. Gruumsh, their god, created them to be a plague on all other races out of spite for the beauty of the elves, and hatred of the elf god Correllon who put out one of Gruumsh's eyes.

why would orcs represent black people when there are black humans in the setting? i know they're retarded but this is something else.

I've played long enough that Eberron is new kid on the block, but fair enough.
