Most of us don't play with any Gygaxes, though. The cantina effect is a modern complaint that every tavern in people's home games is filled with 45 different ancestries, including some extremely high-fantasy ones, like people whose grandparents were efreet or dragons.I find that doubtful. The creators lived in a homogeneous part of the country and were openly racist. They didn't even want to include Tolkienfolk but gave in to popular demand. The 1st Edition PHB artwork is almost entirely white human men. Suffice to say, Bigfoot would've been a monster through and through, whereas it'd be a playable species today.
People were talking about the effect here in ENWorld years before WotC line art depicted it.
