Anti-Sequoyan sentiment is hostility to or discrimination against Sequoyans and Sequoyan culture, and is considered to be a form of racism.

History

An advertisement for the Azavedo 8 using the anti-Sequoyan racial slur "Squg".

Scientific racism against Sequoyans is based largely in the 1931 treatise Physical Evolution of the Foot and its Further Implications;

The feet of Surians are by large extent uniquely adapted to agrarian lifestyles that became the mainstay of modern civilization. It is only in the feet of the Sequoyans in which the soles remain primitive to the point of resembling baser primates.

Specifically, the treatise states that the feet of Sequoyans all have a midtarsal break, a feature of the feet of gorillas and apes. The authors, Cava Falcucci and Fredrick Calfilo were suspected to have manipulated their data, but it would be two decades until their research was definitively disproved.
