Have you read the comments in this thread? Â We've given a lot of very solid reasons that Au Ra might not be readily accepted. Â Namely, they are foreign and never-before-seen, they are suddenly springing up, and in the RP community many of them have secretly been concealing their identities.
I can't speak for everyone but at least in my case, there's no OOC hatred of the race. Â I may make an Au Ra someday, especially if they have interesting race lore. Â If this seems to you like an OOC-ly motivated backlash against the new race, then I'm sorry, but I sincerely think we all have good intentions and are just thinking about what makes the most sense RP-wise.
It also seems like most of us accept that not everyone will be open to this kind of RP, so as long as you are up front with people about not wanting to play your Au Ra as a "persecuted minority," I think people will probably be willing to make compromises for you.
