Racism is a fantastic way of introducing conflict without having to come up with a particular reason. And stories without conflict are often really boring. Comes with the bonus points of being realistic.

Soooo... You want the fantasy racism to be justified?

Like in what way? Ideally, every bit of world building would be justified, but thats not always realistic.

I think justifiable racism might just be unrealistic enough to be exclusive to the fantasy genre in the first place lol.
