Ah now I see where you’re going. So although the actual values for races / display races are the same, you’d like to differentiate it in the unit

Well, the reason why I think we should differentiate the two is because I don't think they're ultimately the same thing.

I'm going to dig a bit more into the client and see if I can find anything interesting.

So far it seems to me like all units have a race field but in *modern* clients, the display race is being used for NPCs.

So we can assume that's what Blizzard does on the server side also. NPCs don't really have a race other than that "fake" value.

So Unit could get an _displayRace field that’s updated on model change
