I want to meet someone who'd call Kage a popoto.

He still hasn't eaten one. (To his knowledge).

He's eaten them but he didn't know that's what they were called. XD

Jana would probably make a popoto gruel on an adventure and make a goofy remark about it while serving it, without outright calling him a "popoto person." "Haha, don't feel too bad eating it," or something like that.

Now that I think about it, Jana's biases are largely based on her first impressions. Kage was part of her rescue party, after all. Even the fact that she isn't biased against men could be attributed to this, as the men she interacted with after leaving the shroud have all been serious types: Fellow gil-minded adventurers, soldiers, and mercenaries. If she'd met one of those that fancy themselves a playboy at first, she could have ended up a lot less trusting.

Rowe has a prejudice towards Duskwight Elezen, subconsciously believing any of them she sees to be backwards, poor, and ignorant.

She also has a tendency to disrespect Seeker females and Tia males, believing that they are weak. However, she does respect Nunh males quite a bit.

Kendha'to hates everyone. Probably even you. -Points through the screen, directly at.. you.-

More seriously, he bears an extreme dislike for Seeker tradition. Does not understand it, does not make any effort to do so; he's as stubborn as they come on this point. He also doesn't like Gridanians, especially elezen. He's taken to trading with them at times, and will tolerate them, but one shouldn't expect any sort of pleasant conversation. His feelings on Lalafell can be summed up in a single phrase: "Hnn, creepy." Not outright hate, but isn't about to go out of his way to talk to 'em.

In contrast, Yvelont is pretty.. darn.. progressive, despite having grown up in and around Ishgard. He had a tendency as a child to consort with the oddballs: vagrants, ne'er-do-wells - so long as they had a story to tell. He leapt at the chance to talk to travelers from other lands when they passed through Owl's Nest in his youth, and was rather well-read and curious about all races. Still, he despises Dravanians and ixali, but whether or not such discrimination would be deemed "unfair" is debatable given his history in both Ishgard and Gridania.

Anyone in law enforcement.

Seriously though, Fohcswys  has a bit of a bias against any Lalafell that isn't a mage of some description. Specifically that. Archers are a bit hit or miss. And it's not a end all seething loathing it's more of a 'I'd really rather not' sort of reaction.

There's no logical reason for it. It's entirely born of the irrational idea that a lalafell with a sword/lance/axe/'fists' is the perfect height to swing at kneecaps.

I don't think I gave Kell any specific biases, though he's started noticing that Miqo males are... bizarre. Since he can't tell the difference between the clans, he just assumes that all of them are weird (granted he's not encountered the most common of Miqo males). He's also too much of a pussy (pun intended) to do anything about it.

He's not really interacted much with Roes or Lalafells.

I guess the most unfair bias he has would be that he thinks everything is an Eorzean custom regardless of how silly it sounds, like that time he took a sarcastic "you can sit on my lap hue hue hue" by someone in the Quicksand and he just went and did it anyway, thinking that maybe Eorzeans were more welcome to stacking each other on chairs.

Sastra has a disliking for most Lalafell. It stems from the majority of the ones she has met being bratty, hyperactive and annoying little naive #¤¤%%&#¤. 
One of them went out of her way to stalk Sastra to apologize in her own special way because she had upset Sastra and then concluded she had to become happy again, when a simple apology did not do the trick, she asked about for advice on how to ungrumpy people. And someone suggested that people in love never seem to be grumpy. 
So she went out to find the nearest "Tall person" and basically went "Hi person, this is Sastra, do you want to be her boyfriend?" 

That lalafell in particular was nicknamed Tiny Terror. 

Though there are lalafells in the Kindred that Sastra likes and approves of, curiously they are also the ones that appear to act more mature :p 

So I think the TL;DR of this is: Sastra does not like annoying lalafells.

Koporo named his sword Shinbreaker. He won a Grindstone tournament by breaking the last person's leg. He dealt with an unruly fellow at the Quicksand by striking his knees and dragging him across the floor and out of the building. 

That fear of hers is entirely well-founded.

Kiht use to have sooooo many biases that she would call people she just met by race and gander. People who have known Kiht the longest can remember that. However, her bias have changed, and she has become progressive for the most part (progressive compared to the ball of racism she use to be).

She is wary of Midland Hyur males at first because of the fact that almost every one she has met is or has been DYSFUNCTIONAL. She loves Midland Hyur females though XD

The few Highlanders she has met have been good people, and she has sympathy for their plight as refugees.

She has not talked to enough Roegadyns to get a solid impression of them.

Elezen are an example of a race she now has an opposite perception of. She use to dislike all Elezen, but a mentor and her time with the Ishgard Exiles turned her around. She has only met a couple Elezen who proved to be untrustworthy.

She has only interacted with a few Lalafell, so not really much of an impression to be had there.

When it comes to fellow Miqo'te, she will be very friendly at first. Keeper or Seeker; it does not matter. She is always open-minded when meeting a fellow Miqo'te. However, she has had the absolute worst encounters with Miqo'te who are more "urbanized". It is not the lack of tradition that bothers her, it is the fact that they all seem to condemn her for being traditional, and they all have turned to lives where they seem to be victimized or criminals. Kiht could write a book about the fellow Miqo'te who have left a sour taste in her mouth. However, she is -still- very friendly when she meets a fellow Miqo'te at first; unless they do something she considers suspicious.

Kiht has major bias towards Ixal for many reasons, but really, who doesn't?

J'rakh doesn't really like city folk. He finds them selfish, strange and arrogant. They also often treat him with disdain since whilst he's made an effort to integrate whilst passing through populated settlements and cities his tribal ways make him stand out quite a bit.

He also has a strong loathing for those of his kind that have abandoned tribal life entirely, especially if they in turn look down upon their own culture.

Lili hates Garleans pretty violently though it's never had an opportunity to expose itself. Her ex husband was taken and presumably murdered by them (a body was never found), so she lives with that widows' notion of 'All of them must pay!'. Luckily her kind disposition keeps this in check unless she were to be provoked.


Lili has grown a great fondness for Miqo'te over the years. The first time she 'branched out into the world' a few years after the death of her husband was with a miqo'te male escort, and despite her lingering sadness he managed to help make the experience positive. It left an impact on her that is more subconscious then anything, and it makes her more soft towards Miqo'te in general. Unless they're blatantly an asshat of course.

Garlean soldiers of any kind, and the thinking undead. He has pity for mindless undead, but smites equally.

There's also alcohol. J'rakh doesn't drink it since it dulls the senses and drives many to addiction, something he views as a sign of weakness.

Bartolomeo's past and teachings have made him grow wary yet also tolerant towards a lot of the diverse races present in Eorzea, however some inner bias still exists inevitably.

Miqo'tes -
Depending on their culture, keeper, seeker, tribal, urban, etc. Bartolomeo doesn't exactly mind the race entirely, however due to the hostilities between tribals in his former realm, Bartolomeo has been extremely wary towards the more "feral" miqo'tes. In general though, he seems to hold more respect towards Keepers than he does with Seekers.

Hyur - Well, it's his own race so he doesn't really hold any racial bias against them and he treats the highlanders equally in terms of respect.

Lalafell - He doesn't despise lalafells, but through experience hes grown dubious in regards to what they may say.

Roegadyns - He has no distaste for Roegadyns, as his nation had strong ties with Sea Wolf mercenary gangs.

Elezens - Elezens to him are an exotic species, although he tries his best to restrain his emotions on the matter. The looks and figure may charm him but what lies in the heart may entirely change that perspective for him.

What about Garlean not-solidiers?
