Well its hard for me to put my perspective in words... so I'll hand it off to Brian Blessed to state my opinion of how to deal with the Batarians:

What about  this hero?

they have four eyes. Most people hate because they look..well...alien. If they looked like elves we would love

It's about what they do, not about how they look.

No hate for the race in general. I'm sure there are cool ones. But all we've ever run into are terrorists and murders. That's where my hate is directed.

So in the words of Zaeed: "Goddamn terrorists."

 I find Batarians to be one of the most interesting species in the Mass Effect universe. I find them fascinating culturally and visually. 

I noticed though that generally most peope don't like them and find them, for the most part, unappealing to look at. Anyways I was wondering what is your general feelings towards them.

Slavery
caste system
Yeah, what's not to like right?

And then there's the whole thing with everyone of them we meet is more of a scumbag than the next.I can't remember a single friendly batarian in the entire game

They're pretty bad. Like someone said before, the N.Korean government of Mass Effect. They hate all foreigners, oppress/enslave their own people, **** on basic organic rights, and are constantly looking for reasons to kill aliens. Their very way of life makes Cerberus seem like a good idea. In fact, I kinda want to let them all die in ME3. Really, they don't do much besides start fights. Plus, their appearances are uber-lame. Like the Yahg, but at least the yahg have a unique body.

That said, really, what have batarians ever done for Shepard, besides try to enslave human colonies?

*Cues "Duelling Banjos" and the scene from Pulp Fiction with Marsailles Wallace tied up(saxaphone part).

I don't dislike them, they just have this thing where they love to shove their weapons in my face,

[The Hierophant]

Meh, i don't know if it had been said before, but i will say it ,"A good Batarian is a dead Batarian."

[Anihilus]

Ah yes "Batarians" the asteroid in Arrival has pretty much dismissed that claim.

Not sure if serious...

You realize that the Bahak system was a very small colony of only ~300,000 Batarians, right? It's not like it was their home world or even a major colony.

[phantomdragoness]

Several of my Shepards find it fascinating how the Batarians get themselves into situations where they must be killed.

Alright, joking aside: I find Batarians interesting. Especially their appearance.

[Valdrane78]

They like to invade colonies and steal people for slavery. I'd say that qualifies them as the butthole of the universe and earns my dislike for them.

[Reformed Reaper]

I think they're a cool race, but their attitude towards humans sucks!

[Jonathan Shepard]

I for one do not hate Batarians.
I just enjoy blowing up 300000 of them with one stone.

Given the events of Arrival, if the destruction of the system can reasonably be pinned on humans, it is about to suck a lot more.

People don't really hate Batarians, just certain things in the culture and behavior. The real issue is the fact that consider slavery to be a justifiable practice within their culture and the majority constantly blame humanity for their problems and are always trying to mess with us in whatever way possible. Not to say we don't deserve some of the hostility since we are still new to the galactic government and are already pushing for more power instead of actually respecting the other races' seniority.

How would you feel if all of a sudden the new kid started believing themselves to be entitled to your stuff and boss you around when you've been around the longest and had to work hard to get to where you are. That's essentially how things are in the game. We should look out for our own interests, but we should also be willing to work with those who have been around the longest and rise up through the ranks as time moves forward, not bulldozing everyone and everything in our way to what we desire. That just ends up leaving us with more problems in the long run.

So yeah, I don't hate Batarians, but I don't neccesarily like them either. At least not certain practices they do. I accept that they have a rather valid reason to hate us, but I'm not gonna consider commtting genocide on them for being Batarians. Take out those who are a threat and show the rest some of us aren't bull rushing through like the politicians who prefer not to play nice with other races. Peace is the way. Sorry that that makes me sound like a pansy, but being an **** tends to bring more problems then solutions in life. Prefer playing nice. Not in the game though, I do like being a renegade at certain times (punch the newslady).

[Cypher0020]

Ok I actually like Batarians.... its just a shame that Bioware practically put a big red bullseye on their backs that screams HATE THEEEEEEEM! LOL

I mean... Mindoir....Bring down the sky.....heck probably the Blitz... Arrival.... yeesh!

I for one love that sick batarian on Omega and I find Charn....repentable? O_o Balak... not so much.
