Heh. This is funny. Even more so when my dwarves have Texan accents. ;)

It seems to me the real question is "Are Latinos Elves?"

Game sin committed! Everyone knows dwarves have Scottish accents!  :P

So, I'm half High Elf + half Wood Elf?

I'm glad we "latinos" have finally been recognized as magical and beautiful.

Well I, for one, have always seen tacos as magical.  There has to be some kind of spell involved to take basic food and make it that delicious.

We should Taco bout that, But I fear it's TOO offtopic, and I haven't seen a subforum to share cooking recipes and tips.

I think we could get away with a "favorite foods for game night," or "food themed for race or class in your favorite game" threads.   Hell, according to Pundit, think you could just say "best elven recipes" and just post tamales and tortas.

Tamales are way tastier than tacos.

Anyone else interested in a thread where I tell you how to make AUTHENTIC Mexican Guacamole and other things for game night?
The women in my family are fond of cooking Mexican food.

Latinx is pronounced "La-Tinks". Say it loud! Say it proud!

And that's why we need to honor transgender Chinese!

They shall be now known as Chinx which is pronounced...

Tamales are way tastier than tacos.

They are also way harder to do, at least two days working to be able to have them for dinner.

No, a hundred times 'No'.

Elves in D&D always seemed to Be Fench - and really snobbish French at that.

Like they all went to Art School, drank really strange coffee and still had surfer blonde hair....

You kind of see it in some of the background actors in Jackson's ""Lord of the Rings" movies...
They are magical snotty French men...

LOL! Thanks for making coffee come out my nose. This reminded me of the whole people of color/colored people bit from Bloom County. Way ahead of its time.

I think the Elf subraces have more in common with the Indian caste system. Moreover, the drow have some similarities with the goddess Kali.
