How many people of color are protagonists in this anime? The only ones of a different color are people of color refugees being persecuted for fleeing their home country for a better life in Europe. Being burnt alive, and falsely accused of rape and terrorism by this RACIST white dude that looks a lot like, noted altreich white supremacist, armored skeptic. All these goblins want to do is live PEACEFULLY. They DO NOT not believe in rape. They DO NOT commit acts of terrorism. There is NO such thing as nogo zones. All the lies and fakes news about these people of color in this anime are made up by RACIST ISLAMOPHOBES trying to spread their hate filled white supremacist views!

Because:

Goblins = Jews
Goblin Slayer = His Excellency the fuhrer Adolf Hitler.

"The only good goblins are the ones that never get out of their holes". That's pretty racist if you ask me.

To be fair, if it's anything then it's speciecist. Because Goblins aren't a different race of the human species, but rather a different species alltogether.

Goblin lives matter.
Goblins have rights too.
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

95% of the criticism of this show can be ignored as loud and angry SJW nonsense.
The other 5% reasonable people get drowned out.

But even still, people seem to expect something more from an anime called "Goblin Slayer". Like what the hell were you expecting? As for me, I was expecting to see some bitch ass goblins get massacred. And I have received that in spades.

I guess lots of people are projecting a character attacking and killing a bunch of rapist and thief (even while "innocent" kids) to some parallels to races/followers of religions on our real world which makes it a pretty funny and ironically racist point of view.

Unlike most people here, I will not dismiss this claim. You see, Western fantasy settings are inspired by The Lord of the Rings, which have been accused of racism in the past. One of the most notable controversies is the depiction of enemy Easternlings which resemble the Ottomans and the Persians, the former of which did invade Europe in the Middle Age only to be defeated.

The thing is that both Iran and Turkey are very racist even until today, whereas Japan and most Western countries have become more moderate. The Turks and Persians in the 21st century don't take well whenever their people is depicted badly, whether fictional implication or strictly historical.

Let us not forget that even though goblins are an evil race, that does not mean they cannot grow away from their evil roots. There are some good goblins. Most large banks and hedge funds are ran by goblins.

I find speciesism or 'speciesist' to be more fitting.

But then I find people confuse route and rout all the time and havn't read anything Dark Fantasy outside the anime bubble so I don't really care about the silly arguments.

Very much like this guy, I think you simply misunderstood what people are saying OP. It's pretty simple actually. Some people are accusing the show of using racist caricature templates to vilify its antagonists (goblins). They're not accusing Goblin Slayer of being racist per se. They are implying the show is very lazy and derivative for using such simplistic templates as justification to get you to root for goblin genocide.

Author mentioned in an interview he was into D&D games. The MC is a Ranger according to D&D rules. His chosen species enemy is goblin, in this case.
From the AD&D rule book. https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/Ranger

"In their roles as protector of good, rangers tend to focus their efforts against some particular creature, usually one that marauds their homeland. Before advancing to 2nd level, every ranger must select a species enemy. Typical enemies include giants, orcs, lizard men, trolls, or ghouls; your DM has final approval on the choice. Thereafter, whenever the ranger encounters that enemy, he gains a +4 bonus to his attack rolls. This enmity can be concealed only with great difficulty, so the ranger suffers a -4 penalty on all encounter reactions with creatures of the hated type. Furthermore, the ranger will actively seek out this enemy in combat in preference to all other foes unless someone else presents a much greater danger. "
