They find it unbelievable that anything can be as bland as lightforged, so they identify them as closest thing they know.

OP you're posting this as if something happened between the Mag'har and the Lightforged of the Alliance.
So I'm not sure how to respond to your post?
When will they realize? Nothing has happened for them to mistakenly identify the Lightforged as the Lightbound instead.
Some Mag'har like Geya'rah think that the Alliance should suffer for having Draenei in their ranks.
Simple as that. That's what OP is trying to expand upon.
It's just the Orcs being, at the core of it, racist. Not... real world-related racism with all it's context, but when they see the same race that ruined Draenor, they see an enemy.
Ahhh, I see.
EDIT: Found some interesting quotes from her. This girl is damaged.
As a child, draenei scholars taught me to read and write. I liked them. Respected them.
Then the naaru came, and fanaticism took hold.
The draenei were reborn--no, they have a different word for it--re-forged in their precious Light.
Their belief blinds them, binds them to masters who seek to control the universe as surely as the Legion did.
Draenei... eredar... so willing to bend the knee. So prone to corruption.
The Alliance embraces the draenei and their Lightforged kin.
That alone is reason to crush their cities to dust.

Once again, the acts of one person doesn't make a entire race racist. He was vilified and in the end he was killed, you don't see anyone trying to claim he was a hero...
But on the other hand you have people who to this day glorify Garrosh...you have plenty of people who love Sylvanas. Don't see many if anyone who actually love Y'rel, and like Feanoro said, she converted not killed the Orcs.
It's all double standards...all are perfectly fine when the Horde does it...
Very true. However the Lightforged and Void elves aren't the only ones who suffer from this. Death is also a cosmic force and those infused with it's power should be much more anti-life in demeanor and appearance than what is shown. This is mainly a problem because these races are playable. The playable Lightforged, Void elves, and Forsaken should all be much more radical and aggressive like Yrel, SW visions Alleria, and Putress.
In terms of Aesthetics, I think the Light and Void do a much better job at showing "corruption" and it's relation to increased power. When infused the lightforged become lighter and brighter, the Void elves grow darker and shadowy, but undead for some reason become more life-like? Death Knights and Dark rangers are considered greater undead but they look more alive than standard zombies. Being a greater undead should transform you into a skeletal version of yourself, like Liches or Necrolords.
"Father, is it over? I see only darkness before me."
I won't ever be able to understand why people glorify Garrosh or Sylvanas. I can't speak for them. But I hold both of the factions to task for their actions. It is why sometimes I think WoW needs a hard lore reboot. Start things back from the beginning after Frozen Throne. Blizzard has irreparably damaged the New Horde as a faction of equal moral standing of the Alliance.
I was talking about the original orcs. KJ finds Draenor BECAUSE the draenei are there, sees the orcs, goes "ooh I can use these guys to get revenge on the draenei whom I hate" and the rest is history. Velen flat out says they had to evacuate lots of worlds in a hurry cause the Legion found them. You wanna bet some of those worlds had intelligent life that got wiped out cause the draenei chose to settle there? If you're being chased by the Legion, I feel it's criminally irresponsible to settle on a world that has intelligent life, you're putting them at risk.
The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.
Basically DKs and Forsaken should be it's own faction.
"Father, is it over? I see only darkness before me."
Hilarious that you just conveniently don't mention literally any Night Elf lore character, Turalyon, and Genn's exceptionally racist mindset of the rest of the Horde races. Yeah, sorry but the Alliance is the faction that is excused for being racist. I NEVER see people defend any Horde racism. The only people who say that the Horde being racist is ok are always Alliance fans.
Daelin was racist. Yet there are plenty who absolutely call him hero (don't need to play too far into the Alliance campaign in BFA to hear folks, hell they wrote a whole song about how he was great and his daughter was a traitor. The latter points get resolved, but they still loved Daelin)
Garrosh was racist, he legitimately felt Orcs were a superior race.
Sylvanas is not racist, she's insane and wants everyone dead. Unless "Alive" is a race now.
Yrel is not racist. if she was she would not be accepting "lesser races" into the order and cleansing the land of them instead. She's a religious zealot, a fanatic, on par with the Inquisition, but not racist.
They don't see that big of a difference, and the LF Draneai do also have the idea of "forceful" conversion, though they don't practice it, much at least.
Either way, none of the sides go out of their way to hunt the other, so its racism without the whole acting on it.
