I can't remember everything.
No need to be a rude at all.

Why are you so upset at him using that term to describe himself? It is not directed at you, or anyone else. It's not the nicest way to describe someone of mixed lineage, sure. But that's why it is an apropriate word for someone that despises their mixed lineage in the first place.
Do not judge words alone, because words need context to have any real meaning!

There's a pretty clear reason why he's using that term, instead of straight out telling the Rhalgr's Reach leader that he's half Ala Mhigan/half Garlean.

Y'know, since the Ala Mhigan Resistance has been fighting Garleans for years now.

Okay, but if it bothers you so much, what term would you suggest to replace it? Because there really isn't one I can think of that has the same connotations.

Don't patronize me I know racisim exists doesn't mean I just have to be cool about it. If he said another racist slur to describe himself or anyone else and I feel that they could make it come across

If the game was entirely politically correct then there would be no FF14. This is a another way then I'm allowed to ask about it. Geez.

world where war is a constant thing and so is racism. I understand being offended by something like this in real life. But this game is not real life and its not a really happy place in this world people are scared and afraid they don't trust other nations and many races. This line fits the lore of the game and is not meant to offend anyone in real life.
