When did I say this?
Is it my -backed up by Lore man himself- statement that it is socially ingrained for the races to dislike each other?
Is Ishgard some utopia?
Edit: "What is Systemic Racism? Systemic racism occurs when the way a society is structured systematically ends up giving advantages to some and disadvantages to others."
Did you not just agree with me that, as lore stated, that half-races are treated differently and hence it is racist?
Edit2: I mean crap, I just came into the conversation going "cultural racisim, proof? yeah here's what the lore team stated." "Yes I can see this happening in Ishgard, would not surprise me one bit." I'm not dogpiling you, but you keep saying what I've provided is irrelevant to any type of society-ingrained racisim when I'm pretty sure it is.
There's this common perception that Ishgard is by and far the most racist of the 4 nations. If we're going by *only* in-game evidence, it's actually the least racist of the 4. I cannot stress this enough, hating foreigners is not the same thing as racism. They often go hand-in-hand, but they are completely separate concepts.Â
Yeah, there's racism everywhere, so by default it exists in Ishgard as well. What I'm trying to get across is that they aren't out hanging non-elezens from trees and burning spears in people's yards.Â
How this ties back to the original point is that just because they're not in love with the idea of having a miqo'te in their midst, doesn't mean they're going to show her the door either.
