I took it as a two-way street. The Duskwight are scorned, but moreso because they are scornful of others. The Wildwood look down on them for being bandits - not all of them are, obviously, but it's a reasonable fear/hatred. With respect to the Hyur, their conflict came from the Elezen being the once-rulers of Eorzea and taking umbrage at the 'invaders.' That has since been resolved, according to what I can find, and doesn't hold much bearing.
I suppose I should reword: The Duskwight are not racist so much as prejudiced. They themselves look down upon city-dwellers, which is what caused their split from the Wildwood in the first place. They started the whole cycle, and perpetuated it by deciding to take instead of build and grow. If they are suffering their own existence it is because they chose to be that way - no one forced them to live in caves, they wanted to. There are no Duskwight in Gridania because they, to put it crudely, gave the Gridanians the finger and called all Elezen who stayed there traitors to their own race.
Neither the Wildwood nor the Duskwight are correct in their assumptions or hatreds, but both have similarly dug their own holes. I don't think it's a case of everyone picking on the Duskwights for no reason. You're only the underdog if your intentions were good in the first place.
As far as the orphanage goes: Perhaps you're right, I hadn't thought of that.
