Fantasy
A random observance on fantasy settings: It's common to see both elves, and dark elves in a setting - the latter, more often than not, being evil and having darker skin. And, whilst not as common, across various games I've seen 'dark' variants of most races, dark dwarves and the like - similarly, they have darker skin and are inherently born evil.
And it occurs to me, I've never seen any of these games offer you a chance to play as a Dark Human - some let you play a human with darker skin, but in none of them does this make the character automatically evil, or, for example restrict them to theif and similar classes.
And, well, you could imagine the uproar if they did - that'd be racism, right? So is racism alright as long as it's only elves?
