Yes. There are many racial slurs thrown about, and there is often an undercurrent tension, but Eorzeans are generally peaceful and if they hold racist views will usually just stick to insults rather than violence. Microaggressions, if you will. A majority of us live in harmony with each other and do not judge based on someone's sex or race.
There are two subsets to each race, and one is often viewed much differently than the other. For example, it is not uncommon for Duskwright Elezen and Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te to be considered savages while their counterparts Wildwood and Seekers of the Sun are not. Most commonly it is not race but nationality that is treated with the most disdain.
One of the most distressing thing I have come to learn is that Eorzea considers mixed-race relationships taboo. I once met two men who were forced to flee their homes because they were in love. One was a Hyur while the other was a Miqo'te. While one might have casual sex with another of a different race and not be looked down on for it, apparently being in love is unacceptable.
[ her recent contemplation regarding her own feelings toward one handsome Ishgardian Elezen has made this fact slightly more personal. not that she was entirely aware of her dokis at the time of this thread lol )': ]
