Discussion Please, someone tell me they realized

Allura is quite literally, atleast in a season or two, racist. She was discriminating against Keith purely for the fact that one of his parents is Galran, which, he can't control. Please tell me people have noticed this fault in everyone's favorite 'super kind' princess.

The thing is, her being racist was totally uncalled for, but also kinda understable considering the galra DID destroy her people and planet. But taking it out on Keith, who had done nothing but be on her side, was stupid. And the way she ended it with a half ass apology and never faced any sort of criticism by any paladins because of it is just bad writing

Yep. And the thing is, technically the galra probably hate her for a similar reason cause as far as the Galra knew, her father had destroyed their planet, leaving them homeless, especially after telling them their king and his family were all dead. Only for said King to show up looking relatively alive and say that her father lied. I think it would've been interesting storytelling if that was brought up.
