I think one of the Shepard backgrounds was of a colonist kid who survived a slavers raiding party, something for which the Batarians are well known for. Add in the murdering soldier career option and yeah, I can see this happening...
Isn't the entire plot of mass effect basically all the other races being a bit racist against humans? They also neutered Krogans, and fought a war to exterminate the Rachni.
At least 40k is upfront about the hate.
That's.... not really accurate. All the stuff with the Krogan and Rachni happened centuries prior to humanity making contact. What the story does hint is that humans are not the only ones with racist tendencies. (After rereading, this may have been what you were trying to say)
Humanity butts up against Batarian space and, due to their own conflicts with the galactic political paradigm, that race had shifted to a more hostile system of governance that freely allowed slavery and piracy and the like because everyone else was inferior.
Naturally, we hate them because they hate us.
Nah the Salarians neutered the Krogans. They uplifted the Krogan to beat back the Rachni only to turn on them afterwards. Whether or not the Krogan were expansive or betrayed is a "history written by the victor" scenario but what the Salarians did was straight genocide. The Batarians are assholes (especially that one piece of shit bartender in Afterlife) but they're not responsible for what happened to the Krogan.

Making him drink his own poison is mandatory
Did you send in the Human fleet to defend the Citadel from the Reapers, or did you hold back ensuring Humanity had the biggest fleet after the attack?
Hey now, they did tone down the Batarian racism after Mass Effect 2.
... mostly.
Because they were mostly dead lmao
And it was a bit of "the problem is their guvmemt"... And culture, but shhh.
If they weren't evil why do they have so many eyes?????
