All I have to think about to know that Lalafells can be taken seriously is Lolorito. My character absolutely looks up to Chachanji of she ever sees him, finding awe and respect since she saw him as a Paladin about a year ago. There's a Lalafell in my FC that I very earnestly provide shoulder rides to.
As a Roegadyn, I have every avenue to believe my character could punt every Lalafell she sees into the sun. But I have never faced one in combat RP, and my character knows better than to assume anything of anyone. And I have had the good fortune to RP only with excellent Lalafell characters who didn't make their race the primary point of their character.
Sure, the perception issue with many in general is real, but honestly if you're finding those not taking your character seriously, I would echo Ser Warren in that either your approach comes off a certain way or you need to find more folks who can take your character seriously.
To that point, I am more than willing to arrange a hello to your Lala. Steel adores Lalafell, and admired any who have the courage to enter a life of adventuring. Especially those in the martial disciplines.
