Basically, I think the OP is wondering if there should be more diversity of thought in our characters. Â That's a fair question, honestly. Â The percentage of people who are racist in our society seems a lot higher than in our player characters.
It's also necessary to keep in mind that our people are Adventurers, and as such are both travelers and warriors. Â Generally speaking, our characters are naturally less prone to that kind of ignorance. Â I mean, we can do quests for friendly beastmen, so the Au Ra should be a bit easier to deal with than that (they aren't constantly summoning primals to kill us). Â So there's a game reason for that.
But, simply from a mechanical perspective, being racist might be a problem. Â However, it should be noted that you don't have to be a hood-wearing KKK member to have that nuance. Â Orleans doesn't particularly like working with Miqo'te because he sees them as generally flighty. Â Whether that's true in all cases, it's his gut reaction.
Tribesmen aren't included, of course, but then they're a different breed as far as he's concerned.
