Gridania is pretty xenophobic (race doesn't necessarily have much to do with it, just an aversion to "outsiders"), we're told Duskwights are generally disliked, and Ishgard is pretty darn racist, but aside from this, where do we see racism, particularly in the form of cross-species couples?
It was a dev comment a while back ago, if I remember correctly. I'm having trouble finding the exact post, but I do remember specifically when it first came up. It's been hinted at a few times in-game, but we haven't been shown anything absolutely blatant.
The Wanderer's Palace (hard) quest alludes to it, thought it could be argued they were referring to homosexuality (which, at the very least, is common enough in Limsa that one NPC speaks of it openly).

And of course, the case of Hilda, which again, is more classist than racist, I'd say.
