There are only two genuine racists in Windhelm and the Dunmer largely get on with their lives. So what if they're unofficially segregated ('unofficially' in this context means it has little to do with race and more to do with how the city is set out/who could afford the best housing when they arrived)? Happens all the time in cities like Bradford, New York, London etc. Windhelm is not racist. Perhaps slightly intolerant yes, but again, more to do with the current political climate/centuries old rivalry between Nords and Dunmer than explicit racism. The only piece of evidence to claim that the city is racist is the fact it was built by conquered Elven war prisoners.
