Quote:"Many of the reclusive Duskwight resort to robbery and pillaging to survive, earning them the scorn of their woodland relatives."Which I would take to obviously mean they suffer prejudice at the hands of their woodland relatives, and are the victims of the racial bias. Â They are scrambling to survive a difficult existance, and are looked down upon by the Wildwood...I can't think of how that would or could be interpreted any differently.
Quote:"The Elezen perceived the immigration of the Hyur as tantamount to invasion, and as a result the two share a past plagued by warfare."As you see above, its "Elezen", being the both of the clans (Wildwood and Duskwight)...not just the Duskwights that feel this way.
Quote:"At present, however, they can be seen coexisting peacefully, the exception being the reclusive Duskwight Elezen."And this is because they suffer from prejudice, they are the brunt of racial bias, not the initiator of it, thus tend to withdraw from society as a whole instead of face the bigotry.

A Duskwight who grew up in an orphanage would suffer from the same racial prejudices as any other Duskwight from those with the proclivity to do so (notice I said suffer, not hold within themÂ
