Yeah, I guess that's my problem. I accept racism in the game, I think it's great. But Lalafell get treated with the most offhanded racism (by players specifically) than any other races, for no other merit than them being a small race.
So in the game world, racism is healthily distributed to all the races (for the most part). Yet within the RP world it heavily leans against the lalafell. And many players probably don't even realize it due to it technically being meta-gamed into their RP, influence from their real world perspective.
So it sucks, it happens, and it bugs me, but there's nothin' I can do about it except handle it when it happens to me in game.
