Yes. There seems to be two sides of this in this particular case. On the one side, the idea that people are allowing their OOC biases to influence their IC behavior (people who hate Au Ra coming up with novel justifications for their character to share their views).
The other side I'm seeing is people being personally offended by discrimination targeted towards their characters. If a fictional character dislikes Au Ra, why should that be upsetting to the player? You aren't your character and you aren't Au Ra.
What it seems to boil down to is that some people just fundamentally dislike racial prejudice as an RP theme. Which is clearly their prerogative, even if it can potentially limit who they RP with.
