@hgrsd@hachyderm.io Okay, just thinking here: If I were asked to devise such a plot what would I come up with?
Probably not the protagonist being discriminated but another newcomer. However, maybe not outright discriminated: Okay, if you first see something or someone, you don't know, your first reaction as a child is probably both fascination and a little fear (though 'fear' is probably too strong a word for this) of the uncertainty about that, not the person themself.

@hgrsd@hachyderm.io But instead of outright othering the other person, this could result in clumsy behavior by the protagonist in a way less offensive matter. They could talk about misassumptions or rumors, they heard (yes, 'they'—both probably have misassumptions and rumors), and nobody needs to know all or be free of making mistakes. Not everything would have to be sorted out at once, there could be bumps along the way, much like IRL. Not sure how plausible this is, though 10/10
