The suit also cites documentation saying “a ‘negro’ race is de-scribed as a ‘Subrace’ in the game and as having ‘average’ intelligence with a maximum intelli-gence rating of 9, while the ‘norse’ race has a minimum intelligence rating of 13.”

      It's like that joke that you sometimes see on ttrpg forums about house rules "The fun police/WotC ninjas aren't going to come to your house and get you if you use some homebrew/change a rule" but they're like "No, no the fun police are REAL and they're bigots and we WILL call them."
