Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
No one likes orcs. Not even orcs.
Half-orcs hate them more than anyone else, usually having to deal with a world that hates them for their tusks, or for their human traits. Strong as an orc, but expected to ignore their compassion, they frequently break off as fast as they can.
Elves hate them even more. As Orcs are descended from them, and unless it is illegal will attempt to kill most orcs they see.
Goblins sometimes enjoy working with them, if only for their protection.
Halflings, will accept orcs in to eat if they ask, but won't ask them, in case they cause trouble.
Dwarves have a proud warriors sense of fighting raiders, but don't have anything personal against them.
Dragonborn have an ancestral fight against the orcs, and even today they will still butt heads.
