A comment on my asian elves sketch: "Has nobody ever heard the theory that elves actually originated from the way people looked at asians?"

Um... I fail to see the point this person is trying to make. The elves of Celtic/British mythology were quite tall and fair, and that hardly describes the vast majority of Asians. Is s/he trying to say that making Asian elves is redundant or something? I suspect s/he is just trying to disturb shit that isn't there. You will notice that this person didn't leave an e-mail or even a name.

And if they're trying to upset me they're doing a poor job, since I mostly want to just shake my head and laugh.

True, modern D&D influenced elves tend to be rather Asian-esque, especially since they've gone from tall to short (except that most of 'em seem to be blond). I can see where they got their "theory," but still - poorly thought out and bad way of expressing it.
