I think one of my biggest issues with the lack of racism within role-play is that it's all too easy for many of the playable races to literally come across as 'hyur-with-long-ears'. It's something that always rubbed me the wrong way about many blood elves back when I role-played in WoW.
I adored the race and their lore and yet the bulk of role-players ignored all that in favour of just portraying them as if they were humans adhering to real world modern day values and morality.
Discrimination (when done tastefully) adds an immense amount of depth to a character be they victim or perpetrator. I really hope that this discussion encourages more role-players to indulge!
