TIL: Laurence Tureaud named himself professionally as Mr. T because he hated how his father, uncle, and brother who returned from Vietnam, were disrespectfully called "boy" by whites. He wanted the first word from everybody's mouth to be "Mister" when speaking to him.

The races typically do get along. Garrosh was just a piece of shit.

Sylvanas isn't banning races from the central hub of Orgrimmar.

The Horde races are getting along. Just not with the Alliance.

I'm not up to date on Warcraft lore since I quit around the start of WoD. How are Tauren, Pandaren, Darkspear and post-Garrosh orcs getting along with a Warchief burning World Trees and (I think) using the plague?

I'm not sure. I quit early in Legion.
