Oh, Otto, I wasn't going to say it! OOC, I dislike the anime influences many characters seem to have. Miqo'te Males are the most egregious examples of having this, followed by Midlander Males (BOTH OF YOU STOP WEARING THOSE SNOW COATS!) My main character's influence is Vernon Roche from Witcher 2; a very realistic and gritty -Western- RPG, go figure. It's just two RP worlds, so really, it's a matter of personal taste. After all, we -are- roleplaying in a Japanese universe...
However, IC, I've contrived of a totally different reason as to why Kale does not like Miqo'te, particularly men. From the NPC demographics of Ul'dah, it's very clear that Miqo'te are not part of the ordinary citizenry. He believes that Miqo'te society (his opinion mostly shaped by Seekers since this is Thanalan) is highly misogynistic and morally questionable, and borderline animalistic where one man bangs fifty women. He sees their habits as completely unwelcome in the civilized walls of a city-state. Even 'city Miqo'te' (which there isn't any NPC evidence for in Ul'dah, meaning it would be a rarity) he perceives as 'tribals trying to dress up like a city person and merely imitating'. Even worse, is when male Miqo'te hit on Hyuran women. That pisses him off especially. He gives female Miqo'te a bit more berth, however. Since prejudice is irrational by default, Kale certainly likes Miqo'te who prove themselves according to his criteria. Same logic as "Hey, some of my best friends are <redacted>!". On that note about male Miqo'te hitting on Hyuran women...same "logic" behind those who didn't want interracial marriage between white and black folk. Not kidding when I say to folk that Kale would vote Republican if he existed IRL!
Oh, Coatleque, those adventurers! Kale does not like them either, because he is a huge conformist and traditionalist. Adventurers tend to be idiosyncratic and strange. OOC, a lot of that anime and overpowered stuff comes into play here, but IC, it's a case of Kale going "Oh, so you're different than the rest of us ordinary people, are you?". Basically a form of Tall poppy syndrome. It's an interesting case of an 'ordinary person being surrounded by extraordinary people'. Take an NPC reacting to one of the PC's crazy achievements, similar sort of thing.
