Goblin Oppression; fact or fiction?

[Keltest]

Most of those races have the advantage that they're individually strong enough that it requires some work to kill them. I think goblins (and goblinoids in general) have it worse because they're individually small and weak.

In 3.5, a normal human commoner is infamously less likely to win a combat than a typical housecat. As a species, humanity has no particular advantage in that department.
