Race becomes species in D&D, but that's not the only change in the new Player's Handbook
Briefly

The shift to the term 'species' over 'race' in Dungeons & Dragons reflects a broader movement to dismantle harmful stereotypes rooted in fantasy literature and gaming.
By transitioning to species, Dungeons & Dragons aims to create a more inclusive environment, focusing on scientific classification while distancing itself from historical racial connotations.
Consultants like James Mendez Hodes have played a crucial role in revising content to combat stereotypes that have pervaded the D&D universe and its narratives.
Wizards of the Coast is committed to evolving game rules and ensuring cultural accuracy in future publications while addressing past insensitivities.
