Crap, double post.

Anyway, I never said there was evidence, just that their story makes sense. Again, you are making a broad generalization of a people based on the actions of a group, I will agree that those people must be stopped, but you are making a generalization of everybody, which is at least prejudiced. I will also agree that a cultural genocide is in order, but keeping all Elves from any position of power? That's a bit racist as the Elves have shown they can be good or bad, just like humans, as Kaidan Alenko said: "They're jerks and saints, just like us".

I can see your point, except that it was the Falmer that looked at men like that, and granted we know next to nothing about their culture other than it rivalled the Altmer's, and was apparently peacefully coexisting with nature, and so far they didn't have the delusions of grandeur the Altmer have, while I agree that men haven't shown to be as bad as people in real life when it comes to using resources, if the Falmer's society is true that it coexisted with nature, they might have seen the aggressive(relatively) expansion of humans with fear, hence why they attacked unprovoked with genocide in mind.

I not really assuming anything, all I have seen historically is that the Nords forcefully conquered the Reachmen unprovoked, and understandably the Reachmen retaliated, when it comes to the things the Forsworn say, look at this way, if a foreign power took control and started subjagating you and your people, I could see the hate Turning into such terrible things by the victims. Reachmen in lore are supposedly the Breton-Nordic mix of people living in the Reach, and before the Nords that we know today took control. The Reach belongs to the Reachmen because they were living there far longer than the Nords, and because they were the direct descendants of those that colonized the Reach. The same way a man's inheritance goes to his son, and not some cousin who happens to be closer to him genetically.
