When was the last time someone ever threatened to eat you? Or burn you? Or just told you to "go back on the firepit"? When was the last time you were told Elezen "aren't people"? That's the kind of crap lalafell players have to deal with far too often on a lot of servers.

That being said though, it's nowhere near as prevalent on EU servers compared to NA servers, and that's mainly because EU players are much better at understanding the difference between lighthearted racial humor and flat-out hate speech. That's actually the number one reason why I left Balmung: because of all the hate-mongering against lalafells and lalafell players.

Yes, every race has one thing or another to be made fun of, and normally I try to avoid them. But when you get a conversation that starts with someone looking at your character, saying they'd eat you or burn you, and your response of "you'd do that to a person?" is quickly met with "it's fine, lalas aren't people".....do you really think that would happen with someone playing any other race?
