What about all the Miqo'te claiming Midlander names?!
That's just bad taste.
(But really though, there is room for racism in this game, and plenty of it. Elezen to Au Ra (or anyone really, Elezen don't like many people lol), Midlander to Highlander (tribalism/nationalism?), everyone to Lalafell, and the list goes on. I do see most of the appropriation of cultures, in part added into each place by the original race/culture, and much of it is due to a concentration around city centers which causes further blending. Much like in the real world, an added element to RP would be a character who doesn't believe themselves to be racist, but finds it in themselves later. Of course, overt racism is easier, quicker, and more prevalent.
I think it is a great RP tool, but one must be cautious of bringing it over to OOC as well, because sometimes it can be taken to a point where fellow RPers stop feeling welcome.)
