Duskwight elezen are not treated well at all in Gridania, something scene in both the lancer quest and in idle NPC interaction in the city.
That said, I agree that if someone doesn't want to RP a racist... okay? It's not like every Wildwood character has to be derisive of Duskwights. I'm not entirely sure why people are getting so up in arms against people who don't feel like RPing a character that utilizes a completely optional aspect of the world.
Oh, I wasn't doubting that there were examples I missed. And in hindsight, I am sad I forgot about the Duskwights. (Though I still don't even know why they are persecuted against to begin with?) What I mean is that it should be absolutely clear and not hidden in any way that there is racism in Eorzea. (But it seems they do this for most of their lore too, meh) As a player, I find this extremely irritating. The fact that I completely forgot about Duskwights to begin with shows there is a problem with SE's world building.
It's the equivalent of....if Harry Potter were to "establish there is prejudice against muggles" and then never go into further detail or show it being an issue.
