Hah! That one is on ethnic lines. Big time.
Although I think anti-meta hatred could grow a lot more easily. Orcs
and Trolls look WAY too different. Not to mention, it's easier to hate the
"abominations" (something that LOOKs human when it's a kid, but reveals
it's "true form" on adult-hood). Again, meta-humans make up such a small
segment of the world population, it's easy to hate someone/thing that you
never see...
