[QUOTE="Dark Jezter, post: 1360166, member: 1015"] Considering that Races of Faerun chose to talk about how prejudiced the sun elves are rather than saying "sun elves are mostly well-disposed towards other races, with only a few bigots", I don't think it's a real stretch to believe that a majority of sun elves are prejudiced against other races. If someone thinks of themself as being better than everyone else, then by definition they must think of everyone else as being inferior. For an adventuring sun elf, this would probably be true. An adventuring sun elf might see the need to enlighten and educate the brutish, uncultured N-Tel-Quess (or "not people", as elves like to call nonelves). After all, if an adventuring sun elf was truly rascist against humans and the other lesser races, he probably wouldn't even be adventuring with them in the first place. For the sun elves who live in Evermeet or Evereska, however, I'd say that most of them really are rascist against nonelves. Where does it say that? I can see a line that says "If there is one race that the sun elves hold in absolute contempt, it is the drow", but that's not the same thing as saying that drow are the only race the sun elves hate.
