For sure. Not like Corvo's the only one it gets leveled at--nobody really has anything nice to say about Morley, and the Heart hints that if not for Sokolov's genius and wide demand he'd get a lot more crap for being Tyvian. Eavesdropping and exploring just make it really apparent with Corvo, since if someone's gossiping about him you can almost guarantee they're gonna say something at least a little racist. Couple that with the fact that a bunch of Gristol aristocrats were treating his execution as the social event of the year and...the implications of that make the whole set-up a whole lot creepier.

(Though I am happy to say that Lydia managed a whole string of dialogue about him not being from Dunwall originally, without saying anything prejudiced or disparaging. Bless.)
