The End of History and the Last Kramer Parody

Enthusiasm for updates on Kramergate seems to be waning, but this video is worth a link before your co-workers start e-mailing it to you and you get so sick of it you can't see straight.

What got me giggling here was the fantasy world the parody accidentally fleshes out. A group of people whose race and genetic properties have never been the subject of discussion are transformed, in this reality, to an aggrieved minority group. Why is it a faux pas to use the name that they're so often called? What are they called in this world beyond the YouTube looking glass, if not "elves"? Since the comedian is known to keep hundreds (thousands) of them cooped up in a giant factory, is he a slavemaster?

This is nothing like the Richards incident. This one is funny.

Those who travelled with Orom? are called the Eldar; those who actually followed him to Valinor are the Calaquendi. Those who never left Cuivenen are called the Avari; along with those of the Teleri who never left Endor they are called the Moriquendi. The generic term, for all of them, is the Quendi.

grylliade,

Well, sure, that's what they're called in the tongue of the West, but what would the Sindar call them?
