72279, Not exactly.

Your comparison is a bit off. What I said is much closer in your analogy to me saying, Hey.. person born with a specific looking body (ie light colored skin) over there, don't be a Nazi. And telling them to think, just because you were born this way doesn't mean you have to be a Nazi. After all, Nazism is an ingrained belief system, done through indoctrination and not simply a race.

And to elaborate more from an in game/race perspective:

I could perfectly see a Minotaur who detests the way he was conceived and desires to destroy the kinds of people who condone that kind of ordered and dark ritual. Who knows, maybe they also have a gender identity crisis and because all Minotaurs are male, they hate society even more.

I could also clearly see a goblin who loves the dark and sinister creatures of the world and despises cities much the same as Galadon detests them. Could be that their natural envious state makes them want to emulate those hussy wood elves and their natural affinity for the wilderness when it takes them time and effort to learn the ways.

I could envision an Azure-touched that although they feel the divine spark flowing within from another world, they'd rather spend their dying breath protecting the one that they're living in. And, maybe this Azure-touched wants to especially ensure that beings brought into this world, like elementals and angels, are given the freedom that they deserve unlike the unnatural part of themselves that's trapped inside the husk of a human that they were born as.

None of my above scenarios directly go against any of the inherent tendencies of the above races but are based on ideologies learned throughout life.
