Marc Laidlaw's "Dankden" (novelette, fantasy, racism, free)
A swampy town called Dankden, peopled by amphibians called "phibs". Humans come, hunting phibs for their hides. Overtime, there is a group of half-breeds too - partly human, partly phib. And some humans hunt the half-breeds' children too. So we have a conflict, eventually resulting in division among humans & burning of a half-breeds' township.
Not exactly my kind of story, but not boring either.
