Oh, also the Dunmer in the Grey Quarters are from Morrowind which most likely makes them former slave owners.

Do recall that elves live longer then Men and that they only somewhat recently banned slavery de jure.

De facto?

Doubtfull.

So it wasn't "ancient" Dunmer that owned slaves in general and Nord slaves in particular, it was most probably the very same Dunmer living in present day Windhelm demanding deferential treatment by the Nords.

Surely you see how that would rankle quite a few Nords?

Don't really see much reason to see the individual before the group in a game, and especially not in a game where the individual is so strongly affected by their group.
