They are no longer considered Mer after Azura allegedly changed them (according to their mythology she was the one that turned them into cat-like humanoids) into the beast race that they are today. This is why the Khajiit can still allegedly breed with other Elves and why some of the Khajiit breeds are indistinguishable from Mer, more specifically Bosmer. Point me in the direction to something that says they're not mer. I'm not exactly saying they like other mer just because they're mer though. It was more of a side note for more (even if minor) reasons why they could potentially be ok with joining with the Dominion. Azurah changed them from the Forest People just like Y'frre did with the bosmer. They bosmer are still mer, the Khajiir are betmer. There's nothing I'm aware of that states they are completely not mer. Besides, couldn't you just call them mer because they decended from the Ehlnofey like all mer did? What distinguishes any being from being mer or not, Ehlnofey right?
