Whoever wrote the text for this game clearly picked bits out of folklore without actually understanding what any of it meant. Fair Ones is actually a term used for fairies because humans at the time were terrified of them and basically kissed their asses for fear of retribution. Fair in this case doesnt mean fair skinned, but fair and just in temperament. Fair Ones has never been used to refer to humans, and it makes no sense in this context. So don't worry, it's not outright racist, just culturally appropriating in the most hamfisted way possible.

This isn't correct at all. "Fair folk" (rather than "fair ones", which is never really used historically) came about as a translation of the Welsh "tylwyth teg", which literally means "beautiful kin"; it does explicitly mean "fair" as in "beautiful", rather than either "light-skinned" or "just". Which makes sense, since the tylwyth teg weren't fair in the sense of being just at all. They were at best mischevious and at worst outright harmful to humans, capturing the most beautiful of them and taking them for their own.
