Racism in Eorzea has A B S O L U T E L YÂ N O T H I N G to do with R E A LÂ L I F E.
If you cannot divert that. Well, maybe roleplaying is not for you. If you are overly sensitive to these things, and cannot once more, divert roleplay from real life insults, perhaps it is time to move on to another setting, or maybe stop roleplay all together.
And it is a far stretch to compare sexual themes with racism, seeming Eorzea has a completely different stance on it all.
I get really sad people trying to convert roleplay to hugboxes due to confusing real life issues with those find in Eorzea. Racism is a terrible thing irl, however it is just a part of it here in the lore *shrug*. I really doubt SE put this part of the lore it in to hurt people on purpose, as you seem to suggest.
I should write a bible how a setting =/= real life & Character's mindset =/= player's mindset. And remind people constantly that getting insulted over IC things OOC does not make you a good roleplayer; in truth these type of people are the worst type you can run into due to well, playing themselves, applying their morals to a setting, and not their character's. That said, your character does not HAVE to be racist ect, but do not start going "But x might got offended OOC." if people touch themes completely valid in a setting, were you have an issue with due to irl reasoning.
