Ah yeah, that's a good point. I was never into those settings where Dark Elves were literally dark skinned (I've never played D&D). That's probably why I didn't notice.
I mean I think the biggest issue with it is the concept of “evil races” themselves echoes racist bioessentialist race science that has and continues to harm minorities. Drows are an example but virtually all fantasy is downwind of tolkien and is an inherent part of the genre that is pretty consistently critiqued by POC fans.
