[Modern day D&D] I am a Kobold. In the past, my people were persecuted as monsters. Their murderers as heroes. Why did it take so long for humanity to accept that those who do not appear like humans were people too?

For centuries.. heck thousands of years parties of 'adventurers' were able to band together and go out and kill other peoples and be praised for it.  

Textbooks and history classes say it was a 'sign of the times' and we can't truly blame them as it was just the way it was.  It wasn't until around the 19th century that we were seen as anything more than 'monsters'.  These days we have equal rights and are protected by laws but this wasn't always the case.

It just seems so crazy to me that this could be the case for thousands of years with no change.  Was the advancement of technology truly such a different thing than the magic we have always had?  I mean, there is the old saying that 'sufficiently advanced technology will appear no different from magic'.  Please help me understand!  I have a paper due in 2 weeks.

Humans killed other humans for thousands of years too. For exactly the same reasons as humans killed kobolds. And you know what? Your kobold ancestors killed humans for the exact same reason that humans killed kobolds for thousands of years.

Have not read the histories of your people? It's as filled with stories of kobolds who slew humans by the thousands in 'their open sky dens.' But since those dark ages, kobolds have been in the forefront of technological and even magical progress, beating out other species in quite a few ways.
