Let me answer your question with another question:

Would the distinction between "black person" and "white person" still exist if we lived in a world where elves/catpeople/Martians were commonplace?

Yes, because there are Duskwights (darkskinned) and Wildwoods (lightskin), Dunesfolk and plainsfolk, Seeker of the sun and seeker of the moon, etc.
Just because it might not be the common black and white doesn't mean that there isn't a form of discrimination/stereotyping, there's still a distinction via name, skin color,class,creed and they judge each other based on clans.

Just replace black and white <someotherracehere> with the races/clans in this game and you'll get the same thing under different cultural/worldly standards/
