I would like to give my thoughts on the whole Dunemr in Windhelm situation.

for one thing, we simply don't have enough information about what is going on in Windhelm, we don't know whether there are enough jobs to go around, nor whether they are open to Dunmer, etc. etc. I know they might look lazy, but one thing keep in mind is that the Dunmer are a VERY proud people, and might look at whatever work might be available as beneath them, so for relations to improve they will have to swallow the stubborn pride they have like that Dunmer farmer outside the city.

At the same time, the Nords are not completely blameless either, for one thing I don't recall anybody saying anything remotely along the lines: "I have plenty of jobs, but nobody is going to take them!" And I don't see any other inhabitants save for Brunwulf caring about the situation most Dunmer are living in, they just ignore them.

At the moment, until we are given a more in more in depth look into the situation in Windhelm, I will look after topic as a complicated racial issue, both sides are guilty, and keep blaming the other side, one side maybe more than the other, but right now I don't care, all I care about is to try and improve the situation ,and at this point the only way to ease tensions is for one side to give the other a break. And the only time anything like that happens is when you take the Imperial questline, making that side all the more appealing to me.
