Well, we're all making generalizations, and we need to decide whether or not any of these assumptions have any truth in them. We're assuming:

1. That all orcs are mindless bloodthirsty hooligans, with no capacity for reason, nor any desire to mediate their differences.

2. That humans either are or are not roughly similar (we've heard arguments for both sides) in their demeanor and treatment of orcs.

But, to come back to the issue at hand, this is really about the existence of xvarts in society, and the role they should play. We can commission another executive investigation into orcish society later (*sigh*) but for now, we should really decide a process of investigation for and or against the integration of xvarts into 'civilized society'.
