Ignis picked up his coffee and inhaled its aroma while he thought of how best to answer that question.
"To be frank," he said, looking to Lumi and Marluxia in turn, "coming here was the first time I've ever seen Selkies. Al Bhed are practically nonexistent in Lucis," he explained, "Selkies are rarer still." There could well be a few, but blonde haired humes weren't the oddity on Eos that they were on Ivalice so from a distance they stood out rather less. Selkies, conversely, would stand out considerably.
"People would be more like to comment on the fact you're foreign first," Ignis added. Lucians certainly had their jingoistic streak, and it seemed to come before racism. At the very least, the racism was more likely to go on behind closed doors. The parts of Lucian society Ignis would be likely to introduce people to definitely knew well enough to keep their unsavoury thoughts among the likeminded. "Lucis is less exposed to the stereotypes and prejudices of Ivalice. We have enough of our own to keep us going," he finished, giving Lumi an apologetic smile.
