Options for creating characters descended from more than one species are not being removed from Dungeons & Dragons

Per this new system, rather than creating characters whose mixed lineage grants them some unique appearances, traits, and abilities, players will now simply base their character’s stats on only one of their parent races, with the only elements actually affected by a character being biracial are their appearances and natural lifespans.

So they're removing the options. Which is all I seem to hear about D&D these days: providing less content and justifying it as excising wrongthink.
