Which race is the African American equivalent in the Elder Scrolls?

[Starslop's Adoring Fan]

I'd say it's the Orcs.

 

[GenericEdgelordSupreme]

Redguards...?

 

[Arpharp8976Fire]

 

[dick brain]

Argonians.

 

[Starslop's Adoring Fan]

Redguards...?

While they are black in skin colour, I'd say they're more like Arabs. I'm talking about a bum race, the 13% in Tamriel.

In that case, it depends on the game. Arena, Daggerfall and Morrowind, orcs are the niggers of the world. Oblivion, it's non-Imperials. Skyrim, it's Dark Elves.

Edit: Argonians and Khajiit are slave races in Morrowind, so that's also worth considering.

 

[batterybee]

I always viewed dark elves as an analogue for Indians, although I have only played Oblivion and Skyrim.
It seems like they are more respectable in Morrowind but I dont know?

• Goblins (also derogatorily called Gobs)[1] are violent, primitive humanoids found throughout Tamriel and Akavir,[2] often living in sewers, caves, and ruins in small clan-based societies. They can range in height from three feet to over eight feet.
• Current goblin society is known to be primitive, and often poses a threat to the more advanced societies that surround them. While their societies are often led by the strongest and largest goblins (called warlords) or their religious leaders (called shamans), some tribes are ruled by other races. Goblin shamans are usually the most intelligent members of a tribe and the ones that lead in religious practices.
• Goblins have also been known to want to be recognized as sentient beings, and have worked with groups like the Veiled Heritance to attempt to achieve this,[45] where they formed a contract that the goblins thought would make the Elf kings and lords stop harming them.
• Goblins can communicate with their own language that can be learned by others, though it largely comes off as gibberish.[34] Vice versa, some goblins are capable of speaking Tamrielic to a coherent level.[20][31]
• Goblins usually live in a tribal society, although they are not always part of a named tribe. Those tribes that do have names are notable for their use of symbols, strong leadership, and distinctive traditions.
• Scholarly pursuits into the intelligence of goblins are often met with rejection, as the premise that goblins can be domesticated is viewed as "ridiculous" by academia.[43] One such avenue of research was a scholar who had pointed out the fact that goblins are not as primitive as they are perceived, saying that goblins are capable of taming creatures such as spiders and kwama.[43]
• However, while goblin society is perceived to be violent and primitive, there is evidence to suggest that this is not always true. Very few physical remains of early advanced goblin culture can be seen today, however, those that do exist give us a better insight into how early goblin society functioned.

Orcs seem more like Mongols in culture. I'd have to say either Khajiit or Argonian because of the whole slavery thing and you tend to see them most in dilapidated and poorer low class places. Both also tend to have a reputation as thieves.

 

[Jason Wynn]

Easy answer would be orcs. Autistic answer would be Redguards.

I say Bosmer/Wood Elves are the closest. Why is this?

Bosmer reject civilization in favor of the jungle/wilderness they are accustomed to. Civilized Bosmer are looked at with disdain by their peers. Bosmer are extremely agile and quick, a trait also shared by niggers, whereas Bosmer are quick due to their hunting nature, niggers have developed their agility running from the police after committing one of their many crimes. Bosmer are known to practice cannibalism, a trait shared with certain nigger tribes.

The one outlier being Bosmer are known as excellent marksmen whereas niggers couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

Khajiit seem more Romanian than AA. They're usually ready to pack up and leave at a moment's notice and they seem more adept at cutting purses and pickpocketing than straight up robbery. (well, except the yourmoneyoryourlife guy)

 

[The Skeksis Emperor]

Khajiit. Skooma and stealing, all the time. Granted, they are not very violent generally.

 

[Lammy]

Given their particular vernacular that's notably different from other races, their predisposition towards drugs, thievery, and being enslaved, and odd religion such as moon worship; I think Khajiit might be the closest guess.
I don't think there's nothing distinctly "african" or "african american" about any of the TES races though; not in the way some real life cultures (ex. imperials having roman armor/weapons and an empire, dunmer having katanas and being isolationist, redguards having turbans and scimitars, altmer being bug-eyed yellow narcissists (chinese), or nords straight up just being vikings) are very obviously embodied by certain TES races.

Falmer were forced into niggatry by the Dwemer ubermenschen.

Dunmer are the only race in TES that had a good game set in their homeland.

 

[Pignat]

Dwemer, they wuz kangz and shiet.

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

100x more fascinating Q/A topic than expected.

Falmer wuz kangz:

The Falmer, also known as the Ice Elves, or Snow Elves, were an elven race, whose Empire held a portion of Skyrim. They were said to be a proud and united people before their downfall. Their society was considered very wealthy and prosperous, and possibly rivaled the culture of the Altmer.

 

[Pierre D'Olnique]

Lizards were established as Mesoamericans (Aztec/Maya) so that's out.
Cats are 'jeets mixed with Indonesians.
Redguards are Arabs.
Darkie Elves and Orcs are some Mongol mystery meat, though Balmora-like architecture really throws a wrench into the former.

 

[Night Crawler]

Redguards. Redguards are niggers.

 

[Battlefield2142EU]

I'd say it's the Orcs.

Can’t be. Fathers play a big role in orc families.
