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.
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:Part of that still applies. They only recently came together. They never resolved their issues.
Things like cultural racism that is ingrained in society doesn't evaporate because your great grandfather moved somewhere.
I understand the smart phone woes, truly. My thumbs are fat and full of terrors and when I'm on the bus it's like trying to write calligraphy during an epileptic fit.Â
You're correct, they don't evaporate, but inundation does tend to dilute racism. Will individuals always be racist little buggers? Of course. Will entire cultures be this way when they're intermixed so pervasively? It's less likely. I like to think of Limsa Lominsa being this great example of what happens when different races and cultures are all rubbing elbows with one another.
