I have never seen any actual hate for any of the races, but some of them are indeed treated less seriously than others.
In particular lalafell is far too often treated as a joke race - even by people who ought to know better.
(If I had a gil for every "lalafell = popoto" comparison I have heard I could probably buy a large house by now.)
This does not mean you shouldn't play a lalafell - but be prepared that you will occasionally find it more difficult to be taken seriously than you would if playing some other race.
