The crux of the Lancer's Guild storyline is the racism against Duskwights in Gridania. Everything to do with Little Ala Mhigo involves Ul'Dah's discrimination against the Ala Mhigan refugees. Doubly so with the Domans, and that one's even brought up for a good chunk of the MSQ. If you don't wanna roleplay a racist or around people who play racists, that's fine. Still, it's not like the people who play characters don't have a good basis. Prejudice and racism is treated as a very real problem in Eorzea, so I don't really see the problem in somebody playing a character with those prejudices as flaws.
If somebody is bothered by the way people present race relations in Eorzea, then they should stay away from the characters that bother them. It's not exclusion, it's common sense. That's not telling them pick up their ball and go somewhere else, it's asking them to not force others to play the kind of ball that they're most comfortable with. Other people can't make you accept roleplay that makes you uncomfortable, and you can't make anybody else change their roleplay to suit your tastes. It's common courtesy.
