Why the hell is it Species now? RACE is RACIST!

The new edition of Dungeons and Dragons, or D&D 2024, has swapped out the long standing and traditional term 'race' for 'species'. In my view this is to get around accusations of racism and the idea that people do not know what a fantasy race is, is rather stupid.

I find Wizards of the Coast to be more than a little patronising with such an assumption.
