So many villians in the Elder Scrolls are Altmer and I have never trusted nor liked them and how is man better? i can do the same, Jagar Tharn, Mercer Frey, The Stormcloaks, Miraak, Harkon, Pelagius, Potema the list can go on, from what i see man is just as untrustowrthy, but i wouldnt want a bunch of barbaric neanderthals ruling the empire theyd muk it up more than what it already is, or the pretender gods of the dunmer who we know are the brains of the Ebonheart pact and they'd probably force their worship on everyone. Thats why a Breton or Altmer should rule they have more experience. Yes Jagar Tharn, Mercer Frey, Miraak, Harkon  and Potema are Human villians however The Stormcloaks and Pelagius cannot be counted as villains as The Stormcloaks are not villians and are only antagonists if you side with the Imperials; Pelagius cannot be counted as a villain as he was never actually evil, merely insane.

I personally find Elves to be untrustworthy as my first game was TES IV: Oblivion and in that there are so many elves who turn out to be traitors or evil, and now in TES V: Skyrim the Thalmor have taken over, recreated the Aldmeri Dominion and are working behind the scenes to secure world domination. I would always trust a Man or Beast race over an elf.

To call the Nords barbaric neanderthals is itself barbaric; just because their culture is, for lack of better word, primitive; doesn't mean they are barbaric. I'd also like to remind you that the very first Empire was FOUNDED by Nords not elves. Also a Breton is human, not an elf and to say that the Altmer have more experience running an Empire is an outright lie as they have NEVER had an Empire, only the Nords, and Imperials have. The biggest thing the Altmer have had to an Empire is their Dominion which is mostly comprised of elves.
