WoW races to RL races??? *Not meant to be racist!!!*

[tosa]

Trolls are more of a jamaican race in my opinion. Also, all the "I'm not racist!" defending makes me sad, can't people just talk about races without people jumping to conclusions of hate and terror right away?

Political correctness is a beautiful thing! /sarcasm

I agree its not like he said jungle monkey or nigger or something else sudo offensive. Heres my input

Night elf - Hard one, no idea really. Dont agree with asian for some reason.
Dwarf - Scottish or Irish
Gnome - Chinese? Really smart and abnormally short(stereotyping is fun).
Human - White America
Draenei - Middle eastern
Worgen - British

Orc - African
Troll - Jamacian
Undead - American, there mannerisms and and lifestyle isnt too far from how humans act.
Tauren - Native American'
Blood Elf - French, i dunno. the french always seemed a little flamboyant to me.
Goblin - Hispanic

First off this post isn't try to discriminate against any races. If you have a problem with it....then ''fudge'' off.

I've noticed that the WoW races relate to some races in Real life. Here's what I think:
Night elf- Asian
Dwarf- Northern European (Scottish, Swedish, Irish, etc.)
Gnome- Verne Troyer
Human- Welsh people
Draenei- Russian??
Worgen- I'm going to go with British because of the Gothic architecture.

Orc- African American (not trying to be a hater)
Troll- African
Undead- Emos/Twilight Fans
Tauren- Native American'
Blood Elf- Metrosexuals
Goblin- Hispanic

Please...no rude comments, thanks =)

I'm sorry down Jamaican for trolls =D my bad

Actually, you weren't really wrong. Trolls could be both jamaican and african. A lot of trolls practice voodoo, which in reality comes from africa. Europeans brought many africans to Jamaica (and other colonies ofc) as slaves, and that caused the religion to spread.

[Alaster]

Blood elf- Californians.

I lol'd

terribad voice acting on ythe "scottish" soundsng dorfs, it's horrible to listen to, as a scottish player, although i suppose the arguement there is, they're dwarves, not scottish people...

nevertheless, QQ! >

Night elf - Ninjas (Yes, they are a race.)
Dwarf - Scottish or Irish
Gnome - What happens when a Chinese and a Japanese get a baby.
Human - White America
Draenei - Males: Indian (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bAN7Ts0xBo This is their dance)
Females: Black Women (Because I like big buts and I can not Lie. Neither can you.)
Worgen - British I say.


Orc - African
Troll - Jamaican, they dance like them too.
Undead - That Angry old woman who drives to slow. Yes both genders.
Tauren - Native American'
Blood Elf - Tinkerbell?
Goblin - Hispanic

[Calon]

Draenei- Russian??

Draenei is clearly south Asian.

[Juster]

African American is a misnomer. Only ignorant people say African American. African American implies dual-citizenship (Mother/Father is an African + Mother/Father is an American). Most black people in America are, in fact, American.

black american

[feral.kyubi]

Gnome's are Canadian, duh!

[Elixor]

Night elf - Probably French... Thin, long hippies. :P
Dwarf - Scott and Irish.
Gnome - Chinese & Japanese.
Human - American.
Draenei - Buffed up Indian.
Worgen - British.

Orc - African/american.
Troll - Jamaican / Caribbean / whatever high population :P.
Undead - You could say this is a mix of races?.
Tauren - Native American.
Blood Elf - German, I just could see them with blond hair... On a harley, with tight leather cloths... Speaking in deutsch?.
Goblin - Theese are all those people out there and trying to pull people to their storage for a good deal... Mostly in my opinion would look at Estonia. because that is really the only place I´ve been and pulled to their "good deals". But this happen everywhere :P.

Please note that the Scottish are also British.

You are most likely thinking of purely English in your use of British to describe humans and worgen, and purely Scottish for dwarves.

It winds me up when other nationalities don't understand that.

Also, these would be nationalities, not races.

[Renotarshil]

Human - Patriot Americans
Dwarf - Scottish/Irish
Night Elf - Hippies
Gnome - Wiggers
Draenei - Middle Eastern
Worgen - British

Orc - African
Troll - Jamaican
Tauren - Native American
Undead - Goth
Blood Elf - Anime Whites
Goblin - Jewish?

EDIT: Forgot BC Races >.<

It's a bit annoying that we live in a world where we have to say "I don't mean this rascistic, but..." in order to not sound rascistic. It's like the difference between these two - actually identical - sentences a comedian once said:

"If I say: 'I'm black and I'm proud!', then people would consider it much different than if I said 'I'm white and I'm proud!'."

Which is true :] So you don't need to say multiple times "no rascism inside this post", since people who says: "RASCISM!!!" is thinking completely wrong.

Night elf - had some amazon women, english druids thingy going?
Dwarf - Scottish Irish with a touch of viking and they stole rifle technology from the chinese
Gnome - some folklore had them being these little smurfs helping out on the farms when no one was looking
I think they were original with gnomes being hi-tech in warcraft 2
Human- Americanized version of medieval france/england
Draenei - hindu style and a eastern europe accent
Worgen - victorian era mostly

Orc - orcs are just ripped out of warhammer online and over there they represented the hooligans in english soceity, now they have shamanism like native americans but generally I don't think they represent any human civilization in particular
Troll - haiti/jamaican accent with their witchcraft and cannibalism from african tribes(no clue which countries ;D sorry)
Tauren - straight up the native americans
Blood Elf - errr.... modern metrosexual man
Goblin - AMERICA.

Yeah, maybe it doesn´t fit as a race question... Tho, must admit they are a lot alike :P

[Dulba]

Dwarf- Northern European (Scottish, Swedish, Irish, etc.)

OP is retarded the tallest races in the world are dwarves and the shortest are nightelves know idea where he gets his reasoning from.

[Noldi]

Trolls are from the Caribbean if you have to place it somewhere!

And what, are you talking about ethnic races or nationalities? Decide man!

also:

Goblin - Jewish?

Haha priceless :'D but yes your list made sense!

[pomop]

Trolls are jamaican, not african. Africans do not say "Mon".

Cause jamaicans are a race.

And jamaicans and Africans have different accents.

[Khanjin]

Cause jamaicans are a race.

Well what is considered a race then? White, black and yellow?

...Ever heard of J.R.R. Tolkien? Seriously, neither Warcraft nor Warhammer (and especially not Warhammer Online, which was released YEARS after WoW was) invented orcs.
