I don't think it's exactly supposed to mimic specific stereotypes of black slaves, especially not in some sort of intentionally offensive way- that may be looking to much into it. The Khajiit and Argonians are obviously very reminiscient of marginalized ethnicities in the real world, though. They are viewed as drug addicts, thieves, criminals, thugs and there's a history of enslavement.
