Why's everyone so mean to Dohalim?

He's the nicest party member overall, but until the last quarter of the game every scene involving him is of the party bullying him.

Because he's the only black character. Haven't you noticed that racism plays a big part in Arise?

Shionne imedilty proves her self as capable and helping Rinwell and Law. Dohalim doesn't and proves to be rather entitled and childish at times any respect he got was lost after the reveal that he did not be nice to the danhans out of the goodness of his heart but for himself only

Yeah, I don't think that matters as much as Kisara says it should though. Dohalim making the world a better place primarily as a coping method for his trauma/way to redeem himself doesn't mean that he doesn't care about the people or their good fortune at all, and even if he actually didn't care, he still made his Realm the best place to live in in literally the entire world and that's what matters the most. Tales characters are weird and have always been weird.

I think there's a small handful of moments where Dohalim comes under heat that are justifiable (badgering Alphen and Law over their 'etiquette' was douchey for many reasons), but many of them are just the party being overly snappish and hormonal for no reason (which is common for Tales characters), like when Kisara gets so hostile because Dohalim asks about using Hootle's feathers for something after he molts. She comes on so strong that I assumed owls only molt shortly before/when they die or something, but apparently it's a pretty routine thing not linked to health at all and so Kisara was kind of being a ♥♥♥♥♥ for no reason at all?

Its because Dohalim cannot do most of thing by himself. He was clueless for most of thing that the other member called as normal. Thats why he got teased more than the other member and its easier for other character to snapped at him. Its hard to control your emotion if the opponent wasn't able to understand normal thing.

But tbh, because of it, he was a favorite character for most people. He ranked 1 in character popularity poll last year after all.
