So it's a real shame that some role-players end up making some pretty awkward justifications as to why their character is the exception to the rule and is well loved in Ishgard despite not being one of the two main native races.
From my understanding, if you pledge your life to Halone, if you live your life entirely through Ishgardian customs, you will be accepted in Ishgard REGARDLESS of race. You may not end up in positions of power due to prejudices but we've not really seen an example of that (unlike, y'know, Gridanian racism which is essentially 90% of the storylines involving Gridania).
As others've pointed out in this thread, it's never really about race with Ishgard, but unbelievers. If you believe the Ishgard dogma about Halone, chances are you'll be welcomed with open arms, though viewed with suspicion at first.
