Eh? This is a wildly inaccurate paraphrase, to the point of being
libelous, were it only possible to do so to the entire species. (Or was
'typical' of some sub-group meant?) The answer to the bowdlerised
'Can you f*ck it?' is _not_ even the same as to the question asked
-- some would say that Elder Secret gave 'too much detail' on that,
already.
As for the second question, would it seem material to observe that
the 'colours' of elves are explicitly, clearly, and unambiguously
_nothing to do_ with skin colour? And what is there about the question
that implies anything about persecuation?

Give me strength.
