"Your kind" is a derogatory statement that means "Your race or your ethnicity." Saying "your kind" to someone else means that you are objectifying that person due to his or her race. I recommend that you never say this to someone else. This is a very offensive and racist comment that could get you into a lot of trouble and will also make you hated by others. In this show, everyone calls Geralt "your kind" because his race is "Witcher." Most people are afraid of Witchers and don't want anything to do with them.
