Possible "Racism" in the book Catalogue of Weapon Enchantments?
So just now, I was reading the book Catalogue of Weapon Enchantments , and I noticed...

"A particularly insidious, but somewhat common enchantment, is soul trap... This form of magic should only be used against beasts and monsters. To use it against men or elves is abhorrent."

It's my opinion that this very passage from the book, regarding the Soul Trap enchantment, is racist as no mention of Khajits and Argonians are mentioned in it... only men and mer (elves).

In fact, it's possible that Khajits and Argonians are actually included under "beasts", which is, in my opinion, more abhorrent than Soul Trapping men or mer - and I'm not just saying this because I have a black soul gem with Nazeem's soul in it.

What do you think?

If it speaks, it's not a beast. But I still feel bad shooting mammoths for their grand souls.
