I have read that racial profiling is the inclusion of racial or ethnic characteristics in determining whether a person is considered likely to commit a particular type of crime or an illegal act or to behave in a "predictable" manner. I wonder what is the purpose of creating those profile? I guess they are game related and you just want to compile the different characters from that game. Maybe you could also identify who are the good and bad ones here.

You are completely correct that racial profiling is a bad thing when used in criminal and legal contexts. There is no way to tell how a person will act based on their skin color and accent.

However this thread is for a game and represents alien species, giving people a very general outline of the characteristics of the species.

Hey, so...most people know what an elf, dwarf or gnome is.

But yeahhh, no clue what any of the other things are. Maybe a short 1-3 sentence description of each race? Doesn't need to be a whole wiki page. Just so we can get the basic gist of what they are?
