Drow
Drow are black-skinned and white-haired subterranean elves who are allergic to sunlight. The strange thing is they live underground, but have black skin, you think they would be pale to the point of being transparent like Cave Fish. They produce adamantine equipment(Which falls apart in sunlight, yet is bad-ass underground), take slaves, are ruled by a matriarchy that likes S&M, have magic resistance and hate normal elves. In short, they'd be fucking cool, were it not for the fact that 90% of all player character Drow will be Chaotic Good and be Rebelling Against The Evils Of Their Race, thanks to the raging hard-on underages have on Drizzt. They apply human morality, when in reality any "good" Drow raised BY Drow would be just as fucked in the head as an evil human. A well played Good Drow would be close to "Chaotic Stupid" without going overboard. That is why there are no well played Good Drow. As a result, even though dark elf pr0n is 1; common, 2; totally acceptable given their interests, and 3; totally relevant when somebody asks for dark elf pictures (see 2) people still get whiny on tg at anything moderately crude. Sure, we're trying to hold back the tide of cancer, but where dark elves are concerned, it's totally good.
Eberron's Drow are somewhat different, in that they have gender equality (more or less) and hang out in jungles with the Yuan-Ti. They're still a bunch of racist dicks, though. Some things never change.
