Social Status of Warriorborn
Tarion:
Worth noting that there are some downsides to being warriorborn.
In Chapter 41 Cavendish says that you can't expect warriorborn to be perfectly poised - "Inevitably, the beast emerges". And there's the way that Benedict reacts after his injuries - It's pretty clear that he's not in control and could be dangerous.
I don't think that it's particularly unreasonable to consider the potential for hurting the people around them a negative trait. I can certainly see why you might not want to marry a warriorborn.

I also think it's interesting to look at the degree to which social standing can trump warriorborn prejudice. As someone else mentioned, if Benedict had been the heir to his house, he might have had less trouble finding a match. I also recall the possibility being mentioned of a match being made with someone from a lower house who would thereby gain status despite him being a warriorborn.
Dina:
I had some ideas along the lines of what dspringer said, problems to breed. But that wouldn't explain that an Auror Warriorborn wouldnę reach the highest ranks. So racism, probably because they look different enough. I suspect they could have been some accidents with warriorborns (click to show/hide)(think Bagen instructions to Bridget when she was taking care of Bennet. Imagine she has been a nurse, unknown for the warriorborn and unprepared to deal with them. She could have been injured) that make people wary of them.
That said, it's still confusing but racism always is, at least for me.

I don't think they're all part cat... The Warriorborn who was hanging out with the tea-time baddie was mentioned as moving like a spider. Apologizing for lack of names b/c I "read" it via audiobook so names don't stick in my head, just the pictures/scenes.
kazimmoinuddin:
It seems like it is a mistake to even attempt to marginalized a group of people built to fight. I wonder if there is somekind of warrior society/guild. The Way might just have started as a way to impose discipline on them.
