Not only is there little to no lore supporting anyone being against theyr arrival in Eorzea (barring Ishgard for their obvious Dragon-y traits, but even that is never addressed by the setting itself), but the irony is thick enough to cut with a knife.
While I do agree with points you have made in this thread; I do tend to think that it is acceptable for people to mistake Au ra for dragons or void sent. The MC and the player base as a whole has faced dragons and void sent before. So I do not think it is out of the realm of possibility to mistake the Au ra as dragons/voidsent.
Now if you play the DRK line you see that there is a -lot- of hate toward the Au ra by Ishgardians and that extent of racism -is- addressed to the point of brutality against the Au ra. But to say anything more would be heavy spoiler so I will hold back in that regard.
