That seems like projected racism. Who ever came up with the idea that “because he’s brown and smells like spice this is inherently racist” should probably check his own ingrained racism.
People don’t jump to those kinds of conclusions naturally. Wrathion is styled after Arab people, with his clothing and his style. Arab people are culturally very clean. cleaner than most Americans or Europeans. And like Zerde pointed out, the Niffen are not being negative about it other than the implication that he’s nervous and they can smell his nervousness.
Does Baal think Arab and Indian people are dirty? because thats racist.
I wish Alynsa was here so she could give her first hand accounts on how Baal made her feel as an Indian woman in this forum.
