Yeah, I know. I jever said that predjudice didn't exist. I just said that that specific predjudice doesn't exist. Humans are a unified tribe similar to all the other races in my world (excpet for elves. Elves are assholes to everyone. Even their own people.) so the predjuidce is more towards other fantasy races than within their own race. (To make a long story short there is a race that is almost entirely a slave race so they hide in a secluded place in a forest, and a race that's a former slave race that has extreme tension with the elves. The elves are jerks to everyone but tolerate them. Amd the amazons hate every race and their patriarchies, believing them inferior.)this point, if I sat my characters around a table, I'd definitely get some international vibes concerning culture and appearance, considering fantasy worlds are based on real countries.
I'm all for diversity, so I'd say playing different cultures and ethnicities can be an exercise in characterization.
I don't agree that prejudice and social issues don't exist in fantasy worlds-- if you're playing characters who are people or person-adjacent, people are generally terrible so there's bound to be some of that in the background. Anywhere you have one culture interacting with another, there's bound to be an effect on society and the way each group perceives the other group. That's the way I play it, anyway, rather than ignoring what I believe to be basic human nature.
