The reason we don't see any concentration camps is that the Thalmor have practically no presence in Skyrim. The Empire signed the WGC because it had to, and it breaks the rules whenever it can. To say nothing of the Stormcloaks, of course. Besides, I meant their philosophy. They think that they can bring peace to Tamriel, and that humans are too stupid to be left alive because they'll just kill each other. But the bloody and murderous deeds of the Thalmor pretty much tend to disprove this. True, there is something to be said for breaking the law to save it, but as far as I know, there was no original golden age before humans existed. Humans and elves came about at around the same time from the ancestors. (Whatever they were called. Some Dwemer-sounding name with lots of Ks.) If you mean the time when the ancestors ruled, the ancestors were not mer. They were something different, and men have just as much claim to that heritage as mer do.
