These Seeker slurs depress me sooooo much.
(Crylander made me laugh but I cannot imagine anyone in the FF universe actually saying it, haha).

Berrod tries to hide his racism, so he doesn't slur as much as I'd like him to. However, he openly calls Garleans 'Eggheads' and refers to the Allag as 'Ancient Eggheads'.

Dogs and seemingly cats have partially-webbed toes so I think it might be a reference to that(?)
(I mention dogs since they're the only ones I can comment on with certainty).

I thought the mention of cousins meant it was a birth defect from inbreeding.

Oh, I read them as two separate slurs, but you certainly could be right ^^

For Highlanders:
"Why don't you go back to Ala Mhigo?"

Tatsu called Lala's turnipheads. Even if it isn't lore appropriate, I get a kick out of the slur and Tatsu has been punted in the shins by a tiny man before because of it.

Miqo'te/midlanders: "Half-heights"
lalafells: "Yalm-stick" "Stubs"
Wildwoods: "Hyur lovers"
Highlanders: "Rhalgr's step-children"
Quari tends to go for jabbing at what ever the person in question is lauding so I haven't cultivated many general ones.
RE: Post your Favorite Lore Appropriate Racial Slurs - S'imba - 08-15-2015
I have a keeper that refers to seeker's as hell cats. Though this comes more from the fact he spent his whole life how they live there and how they eat keeper children.
A few others though.
Lalafell: crotch inspectors
Roe: beef stew
Elezen: tree humper

I about did a spit take on this one.
RE: Post your Favorite Lore Appropriate Racial Slurs - Meena - 08-17-2015
Elezen: Knife ears, All height and no substance. Cave dweller.
Miqo'te: Kitten, fuzzytits, fuzzball.
lalafell: Popoto (obviously), Mandagora overlord.

On my Xaela I've jokingly referred to Raen Au Ra as "Pale Scale" before =P
RE: Post your Favorite Lore Appropriate Racial Slurs - Desitjant - 08-29-2015
Not sure if it's actually racist, or just size-ist...
... but my Dotharl Xaela once overheard someone in a tavern taunting their Lalafell friend a la: "best watch it around those big ones (Au Ra males), you're just small enough to eat..."
Ornlu has no intentions of eating a Lalafell (or people in general) but found the concept amusing enough that he will sometimes address one as "morsel" or "crumb".
Regrettably, I don't think there is a lore basis for "Falafel-l" =/
