Being the one male Viera who ran away from the forest and made it to Eorzea isn't that impossible, and once you're there, there isn't much to remark on besides that Viera might generally be regarded as exotic (but that goes for both genders).

Garleans, on the other hand, are the common enemy and every time you meet new people they would rightly be wary of you. The few "friendly" Garleans in the earlier stages of the game (Cid, Lucia) cover up their third eye to pass as Hyuran.

I think it would seem far more strange for a character to be Garlean without drawing comment.
