Actually, that's a Vlad-centric view of things and it shows how limited his perspective is. A Dragaeran is pretty specifically someone who is a citizen of the Dragaeran Empire. An Elde Islander or a Greenairian would likely be offended at the implication that they are "Dragaeran", though they likely use the same word for "human" that Vlad renders as "Dragaeran" when talking about them. They ARE "human" but they're definitely not "Dragaeran". Vlad, however, subscribes to this "us and them" attitude that refuses to differentiate. He's every bit as racist as the Dragaerans that he hates for their racism.
