Why is racism against Lala's considered okay?

it isnt comparable to irl racism. in real life you cant take a potion and suddenly be white or whatever.

If you think racism is about how you actually look I suggest you do some more research.



"Racism" in FFXIV is OK because nobody forces you to be any particular race. You can buy a pot and be someone else immediately. It's a joke. Nobody ACTUALLY hates any particular race. Nobody persecutes and is able to discriminate in any meaningful way against the few visual options you checked off when you created your character.

People constantly make "your moms a giraffe" jokes about elezen. Or steroid jokes about Roegadyn. JOKES.

It's inherently racist to assume whites are better than everyone else in the first place, and is a complete flaw in the logic. IE to just assume "minorities" need help to get ahead.

Yea but you shouldn't have to use a fantasia to stop people from giving you a hard time just because of your chosen race. I don't know if anyone has done that, but your statement could be suggesting that the way to deal with abuse over your character's race, is to give in to the pressure and change race. Ideally said abuse shouldn't exist at that degree at all.

I see a lot of lalafell hate though usually nothing extreme. I know of two people who got kicked from dungeons just because they were lalas, but my impression is this sort of thing is super rare.

In such cases those people should be reported and get kicked from the game, not just from a dungeon. But I have never seen that myself
