I would think so. A lot of people seem to think their characters would find this kind of thing "racist."
Again, we're not dealing with the difference between Asians and Europeans here. This is completely different species who are humanoid so an enlightened "hey, deep down they're just like us" attitude makes much less sense to me, especially when you're given reason to believe that it might not be the case.
