Even if a character adheres to more 'modern' values then it's worth noting that they're not suddenly going to be immune to discrimination themselves or that it won't exist elsewhere in Eorzea. I think it'd be pretty cool if more people included it as a plot device since it'd allow more role-players to get involved in the grittier aspects of the story.
I also don't think we need to go through the whole song and dance of tiptoeing around whether or not people should or should not be doing something. Nobody is demanding that people do anything - it's a debate where people are putting forward ideas and food for thought.
As for Lilia's plight? I can relate to it quite a bit though from the opposite end of the spectrum - everybody seems perfectly find with the fact that Graeham has Garlean blood in his veins. It's a shame since I was hoping more people would discriminate and distrust him for it - but so far very few people have even treated it as a negative despite the fact that realistically many Eorzeans would at the very least be wary.
I can't help but feel as though many people shy away from any and all discrimination because of the backlash Lilia has brought up. I've encountered it myself in other MMO's - even when it made sense for races at war to loathe each other.
