If I were to play a goblin, hobgoblin, drow, duergar, dragonborn or similar, I'd _want_ to be called out on occasion. The conflict and nuance would be why I chose such a character. Now they shouldn't play the same, there's distinction why drow and goblins aren't liked. There'd even be situations where someone's fine with drow but up in arms with goblins. The writers need to get into the heads of individual NPCs they script - and foreshadow!
Agreed. We'll see what happens when we get to Baldur's Gate but Drow seem to have a pretty easy time of it. It seems like most people would be deeply suspicious of any drow not displaying an Elistraee symbol prominently. And even then . . .
