ranger is 140% xp required of a human cleric. iksar monk is 144% xp. so why do people cry so much about ranger xp penalty when iksar monks get into groups all willy nilly and nobody complains?

As in most areas of life, public perception of something becomes more important than reality itself. Rangers aren't wanted because everyone knows they're a bad class that sucks up too much experience. On the other hand everyone knows that Monks are overpowered and don't suck up so much experience. Don't let the facts get in the way of preconceived notions!
Racial penalties do apply in groups. The person who said they don't is probably confused with how things will change in Velious (when they won't anymore). Anyone can test this: group Halfling and Troll Warriors. They'll level at exactly the same rate while grouped. If this mistaken belief is widespread, it may also contribute to folks dismissing the Iksar Monk's hefty penalty.
