Could A Npc be Racist towards Elven Thieves but he's willing to befriend Elves that aren't Thieves and he will tolerate Thieves that aren't Elves?

[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8642409, member: 52734"] It's a variation of a "no true Scotsman" mindset. If the character is fine with an elf farmer, but can't tolerate an elf theif - they've sort of put elves on a pedastal in that they "can/should do no wrong". They're "okay" with them frolicking in the woods or interacting with society - so long as they don't step out of line with what the individual thinks is "proper" for them. Elves go to theiving and this person seems them as the worst sort of skum. Unfortunately, I've seen this attitude down here in the deep South. [spoiler]Down here, certain people will ignore blacks so long as they stay in the background and quietly lives their lives, but if the black individual shows signs of immoral behavior (such as stealing), they're considered the worst sort of scum on earth who need to be pruned immediately. A lot of times these sort of folks will claim that they aren't bigots or racists, even so far as to say "I have several black friends", when in reality they simply don't want to think about blacks existing and are ready to pounce on them the moment they "step out of line". [i]To Kill a Mockingbird[/i] has a lot of this sentiment towards the black defendant - they were okay with him in their community until he "did something improper". [/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
