RE: Racial slurs? - Aldotsk - 04-04-2015
Honestly, these aren't really in lore terms, but I've seen couple of RPers use these terms
Tree huggers
Sand lickers
Popotos - to Lalafells
Sea Swaggers

How is this racism squared away with things such as say, the Miqo'te being the default "sexy" race?Â
you have 3 miqo'te dancers in Ul'dah and races of all kinds drooling over them. Or how about the Miqo'te courtesan you escort to the Roegadyn in Costa Del Sol?
Is there a difference between say, "casual" relation versus actual "love"? Like, you can boink as many outside races as you wish, but you are settling down with someone of your own race!

That sounds like it, yes.
Other races are for oglin' and bangin', not for livin'.

I was under the impression half-breeds couldn't exist in this game, as in the races are genetically incapable of making children.

Just wanted to pop in real quick and confirm that Cross-Race and Cross-Clan mating and children are canon lore. Though Fernehalwes said that these are rare and often face heavy amounts of social ostracism for mixing, because the Races all really hate each other. As was mentioned earlier in this thread, the Treasure Hunter couple from Wanderer's Palace HM were both thrown from their homes because they were in a mixed-race relationship (hyur and miqo'te).
Race Mixing | Clan Mixing
As for racial slurs, I think Domri already listed off all the ones I recalled on the first page. ^^

I want to throw in "savage(s)" for Keepers of the Moon. One of the Elezen characters during the archery class quest-line uses it often when referring to them.
RE: Racial slurs? - X'shah Zinbhe - 04-05-2015
Aside from the official sources, it's probably best to get creative. That's far more interesting, in my belief. Kimah has a thing for calling Miqo'te "sloppycat" or saying someone is one needle short of a Cactuar, to borrow off my southern upbringing.
RE: Racial slurs? - LystAP - 04-05-2015
I wonder what slurs there will be for the Au Ra?Â
"Dragon Bastards"?
"Walking Heresies"?Â
RE: Racial slurs? - Mercurias - 04-06-2015
M'sato calls non-Miqo'te "Side-ears" when they talk about things he believes are nonsense. His ears are on the top of his head, not just beside the temples, and he finds the idea of non-mobile ears to be a horrifying way to live.
He has admitted that the side-ears are occasionally cute on the right person.
RE: Racial slurs? - Khadan - 04-06-2015
Not that it's totally unrelated but I suspect, also, that there might be just as much-if-not-more slurs referencing one's allegiance or place of origin than just their race. Such as Lominsans not like Ul'Dahns etc.

I don't wanna sound like a nitpicker but I'm 90% sure Merylywhirly called the Sahagin fishbacks.
That, and now I have an excuse to throw in Flynt's compendium of racial slurs and insults he made up.
Miqo'te: Strays, Tribals, culturally inclined whores
Roegadyn: Searats, brownosers, shemen, fishbacks
Elezen: Pencilnecks, hippies, treehuggers
Highlanders: Inbred roes, bootshiners, freeloadin' refugees
Lalafell: Midgets, gnomes, gaolbait
And probably for the Au Ra: Mutants, voidspawn, frostbacks, hordesmen, beastmen

Funny...kinda how Kale sees it. A lot of Highlander men/PCs (in his eyes) debase themselves by getting with, say, Miqo'te chicks in actual relationships. But he knows that the only person for a true Highlander man is another Highlander woman (well, or man, really). But other races for funsies, go aheeaaad.

Hypothetically, some of those miqo'te chicks are better at being highlanders than some highlanders.
