Ul'dah could definitely be argued as racist against Ala Mhigans but it's generally a widespread commercial dislike. If they were truly racist against Ala Mhigans the love for Raubahn probably wouldn't be as great. It's a general dislike for the refugees as they see them generally as free-loaders. Granted I don't know how 1.0 presents the struggles they faced so I could be wrong. I see it as a classist discrimination more than anything.

Quote:Lore about conflicts between Hyur and Elezen?
-Tension between races because bloody history between them. They never made up but put aside their issues. They don't really like each. They just put up with each other because common enemy. In beginning of the 6AE the Elezen migrated back in, then hyur migrated and tried to take Elezen lands. Clashing and moving apart - gets ingrained in their society. Lalafell will rise on occasion and attack other races, for example. In 3.0 we will have half-races. But they are treated different. Quest will come to explain.
Quote:Cross-racial?
-adventurers come from different land. From places slightly more “progressive.†Live together but separate. Hyur and elezen had wars. A lot of bad blood between races. Recently races to come together in single nations. Cross Racial is possible, but it doesn’t happen a lot. It’s a cultural thing. 3.0 there will be a cross-racial union.

Quote:Can different races crossbreed?
Answer: Yes, but it is rare...and often difficult due to cultural differences, etc. which is why you don't see it often. The lore team has informed me that there will be future quests/events that touch on this and other issues, such as love and marriage.
