Nords, for what seems to be no apparent reason.

What proves that the Bretons are xenophobic?

First of all they are not Bretons they are Reachmen, common misconception.

Proof that they are xenophobic is literally everywhere, the Forsworn will attack anyone for no reason, not only Nords but all the other races as well.

Skyrim doesn't belong to the Nords, and they can't just use this excuse to justify taking over the Reach as if it were socially acceptable.

Well if Skyrim doesn't belong to the Nords then the Reach doesn't belong to the Reachmen. Yes the Nords can use it as an excuse as the Reach is within the de jure borders of Skyrim giving them a legitament claim to the Reach; not to mention the fact that they weren't "taking over the Reach" because the Reachmen started the war against Skyrim, meaning the Reachmen were the ones who took over the Reach. The Nords simply reclaimed the land taken by the Forsworn.

'You never know. If someone or some race wiped the Nords from their land, they may resort to something far worse than the Forsworn.'

I wouldn't be too sure about that. They may become barbaric but not worship hagravens and sacrifice humans barbaric. That would be seen as blasphemy in the eyes of the to the Nine Divines. Also Nords do not trust magic and I would imagine they wouldn't trust dark rituals at all.
