This is the Dungeons & Dragons in 2023 that we're all supposed to be impressed with. And people look at me like I'm weird.
The gith were originally humans (or elves?) that were enslaved by mind flayers, and created to be a servile slave caste for the big brain empire. I labeled them space lizards, because I am a funny person, and I do the humor thing. I forgot people here have penalty on INT rolls.
Also, looked it up, apparently gith were introduced in the 1980s. Muh woke. 99% of the time when you people see ideology, its literally just marketing. These products aren't as political as you think. Its just whatever sells.
