Sadly have to say it is human nature to be this way against people different, some times mildly different to the extreme of majorly predjudice by their upbringing, to religious and political differences.
That being said, I've played many online games of different types, built relationships with others, even those from different countries I liked really well I'd call them a friend if I knew them in real life. Sadly as far as the scorn, I'll call it to be kind, by a few specific groups that think if you not in their crowd, group, gender, race and don't play by their elite view of how to play a game you are less than a normal person in or out of the game, especially ingame. Even more sad is this game I would have to say has some of the worst of this kind. Only advice I can give, thicken your skin and take it with a grain of salt as they say, put whoever is offensive into your block list, or move on to another game.
Don't let those that are in all earnest truth the real ignorant ones ruin you having a good time and relaxing, as that is what playing a game is supposed to really entail, get a good group of people together you like playing with as buddies or in a guild, and talk in private, party, guild chat, and if it gets to bad, shut down normal, shout and other public chats in the game.
