You wanted politically correct, I put it in a simple way. Now if you want, you can assess the demographics of New Jersey and draw the actual answer. It’s the same country that is typically associated with organized crime in a mafia-esque manner.

“I kill two dwarves in da morning, I kill two dwarves at night,
I kill two dwarves in the afternoon, and then I feel alright.
I kill two dwarves in time of peace and two in time of war,
I kill two dwarves before I kill two dwarves, and then I kill two more.”

Rastakhan/Rastari, the accent, all = Rastafari

With a tiny bit of mesoamerican and generalized african to keep people guessing.

But I think they know exactly what they’re doing. Whether or not they should use “exotic” human cultures as analogues for different “races” in a fantasy game is something they are probably still debating at the academic level, among the ones who even have time for fantasy anyway.

Not every Jamaican may smoke, just like not every Jamaican is a rasta, but Rastafarianism, based in Jamaica, is one of a mere handful of religions in the world that uses it as a sacrament (the others being in India I think), so it’s understandably kind of what they’re known for.

Because it is heavily influenced by Rastafarianism/Voodooism and there is a heavy medicinal herb use.
