What the Domans get to see isn't "ah, they're just like the Raen but with different coloured scales". They see "ah, they're like Raen with different scales, and the bulk of them are unpredictable, potentially violent, and not amenable to trade".
So you get the Xaela being viewed as this group of generally violent people, who can't be negotiated with, and are better avoided especially by non-combatants...
I don't disagree with that, but I also do disagree that it's anything close to comparisons and analogies with beast tribes and how they are treated in Eorzea. To my eyes that is purely racial issue, unlike the more general xenophobic approach you can have toward a bunch of aggressive bandits roaming around.
Granted, if those xaela look enough like animals, I can totally see some domans snorting at them that way though! But they are still human, unlike beastmen.
