    I think people are using the word "racism" for xenofobism. Their attitude is toward anyone not native to Gridania, regardless of race. Citizens are from different races too (beside hyur and elezen) - botanist guild's guildmaster is a lalafel.

    It's both, actually.

    Xenophobia is their refusal to assist foreigners unless their magical invisible tree friends say so. The main scenario quest goes into this in detail.

    Racism is demonstrated in the Lancer and Archer guild quests -- respectively, the lack of trust offered to Duskwights, and the view of Moon Keepers as ignorant savages (and both quest stories have these prejudices coming back to bite them in the ass)

    I've said it before, I'll say it again: Lominsa has no undercurrent of something shady going on. All shady business is conducted in the bright sunlight! What you see is what you get.

    Gridania's less-savory elements are borne primarily of culturally ingrained hostility towards outsiders. Ul'dah, though...just, Ul'dah's got problems man.

    From the beginning I saw Gridania as Elitists (less then Ishgard tho °_°), and Kan-E-Senna is one i like the less from the "state leaders" I just didn't like her from the beginning y.y/

    I think they are not found of Duskwight because they are the closest descendants to the culture of Amdapor. That's if I'm remembering Amdapor lore correctly. I'm guessing they don't like keepers/seekers (I can't remember their correct name) of the moon is because iirc most of them tend to be poachers.
