On one hand I like how people are acknowledging and doing away with a lot of the racism and classism that was semi-intentionally written into DnD, but on the other hand I don't like how most groups deal with it by stripping away any significant roleplay difference between the races and basically treating them all like modern-day white Americans with special powers.
Like people will straight-up form a party consisting of awakened monsters, beings from the Astral Plane, and other such playable races that are explicitly one-in-a-million in a given setting and none of that will have any impact on how the characters are played or how any roleplay scenarios play out.
