Dont think that is in any way connected to racism be it hidden or not though. They manipulate and use them because it benefits them....if the scoia'tael were human rebels they'd likely support them all the same.

Memory might be tricking me but i cant recall where it is mentioned that Nilfgaard kills "everyone" in the provinces they conquer....not as a common practice at least. It is stated several times that most people in the provinces of the empire are no Nilfgaardians and dont consider themselves to be Nilfgaardians after all.

Mind you i'm in no way trying to "excuse" Nilfgaard and portrait them as the "good" guys. One think i've always liked about the Witcher universe is that there's no  real "good guys" at all. On a political scale at least.
