If you want me to be honest (and not quoting anyone in particular because I'm so burnt out by this point that I don't even care anymore), then I will: I think racism is a subject that cannot be trusted with 99% of roleplayers to handle with any sort of tact or respect for those around them.
Like sexism, homophobia and transphobia, it should not be touched. Just don't. RP is personal rather people want to deny it or not and these are the type of subjects that hit at an OOC level. They really, really do. Trust me on that.
I believe that the emotional well-being of those around you trumps your RP desires any day of the week. If you want to play those scenarios out, then do so in your private circle, not public where feelings can and will be hurt.
And let's be honest: it's been made very clear that OOC feelings will be driving IC Au Ra hate elsewhere. Just take a peek in any thread relating to them; it's quite damning.
