There's a high elf living freely in Windhelm, for example. Ultimately, Nords are jealous of Aldmeri, not disgusted by them.

I think that prejudice mechanics would be better spent against races like Khajit, Argonians, or Dunmer, because Nords view these races as lesser than themselves. Except for the fact that the one Altmer living "freely" in Windhelm is actually a member of the Thieves' Guild, and thus did not become well-off from honest work.

The only other Altmer that lives right in the city doesn't even own his own shop, the "White Phial". Technically, that store's owner is a Breton.

Every other Altmer that actually live in the Eastmarch Hold are living as lowly farmers/ranchers.
