I found it funny that the author dislikes Trolls because their culture was appropriative but loved Tauren. Tauren culture is no less appropriative, taken straight from common native american mythos (not necessarily fact).

Honestly, I find that almost all WoW's race's cultures are fairly appropriative. Blizzard hasn't shown a lot of originality in the culture department. Even the Orcs and the so-called "New Horde" that people seem to think is new and fresh is just using the standard "noble savage" trope.
