They might have been a 'picking on race' once, but they're not anymore. They might not be well-liked by some players, but they've got their fair share of hero ones (whee Paladin orcs!).
D&D 3.0 onwards removed the automatic alignment thing. Every race can be Every class.
Right now, I play a character of a technically evil race (Githyanki), and he's a good guy, if cranky. D&D/D20 isn't near as bad about thsoe things as it might have been.
Devas that are evil, Demons that are quite good; all of these are in it now.
I thought he was trying to connect Orcs to people. I've seen people do it, so it was a valid concern.
Sorry.
...I still wanted to see his reason why anyone that enjoys fictional violence can't have a gun.
