In the first case you mistake two things. First the Moon Keeper Archer Gal isn't treated badly by entire guild but by a single person. In contrast the Guildmaster showed nothing but support to her. It was also less of racism and more of harmful stereotype that sadly had solid grounding in reality. And yes there's a difference. People from my country used to or naybe even still have a terrible opinion as tourists. Sadly it's well deserved one. Long story short she's a victim of bad reputation her race sadly worked hard to deserve

Foulques case though... I didn't feel it had strong racial subtext. As far as I remember his retelling of the story he and his friends broke the rules. When everyone in the guild got questioned he, taking the teachings of Lancer's courage to heart, stepped forward admitting to his guilt expecting that hus friends would do the same. Ultimately that felt less as a racism (although stereotypes about Duskwight were present) and more about hypocrisy of his friends and colleagues that when presented with choice would chose "cowardice" to save their own hides.
