You do not know any of the Staff or Contributors of WotC? I do. They are based in Seattle, they are mostly Progressive, Liberal writers and creators. So, you are calling people you do not know, have never met and know nothing about - “racist” based upon a problematic illustration and background, which they already apologized for and withdrew? You are then, totally, utterly wrong. I am done with you. Insult someone else. Why not trump, or the Proud Boys, or any of the tens of millions of real racists?
