Yes, I think that is correct for the most part. Orcs are interesting because I'm like 90% sure that Tolkien originally based them on Central Asian nomadic raiders (from a European perspective) like the Huns, Turks and Mongols, but they got Africanised when more Americans began to write fantasy.My inappropriate take. Fantasy (especially fantasy hentai) is just disguised urban stereotypes and racism. Orcs are black people. Dumb brutes with powerful bodies and big dicks. Goblins are mexicans. Low class, sneaky, used for menial labor and undesirable work. High Elves are white people. Fair, noble, cultured, cucked. Forest Elves are American Indians. And Asians are Asians because yellow fever and they want to add japanese shit into a fantasy universe.
Don't forget the dwarves. They come from Norse mythology, but Tolkien gave them long beards, big noses, a love of money and precious metals and made them speak a Semitic-like language... Not subtle.
