You say 'what's the problem with Windhelm's beggars being Nord's?' There isn't a problem, Ulfric doesn't consider it a problem, and hence nothing is done. Again, Ulfric's policy clearly isn't driven by race.

You then state yourself: 'just because they're forced to live in a dirty quarter it doesn't mean they need to beg for money', as well as listing all of the private enterprises owned by Dunmer. The Dunmer, by owning all of these private enterprises, and in not needing to beg, are clearly not segregated against to the same point of poverty as certain Nords. You've shown again: Ulfric's policy clearly isn't driven by race.

You then proceed to dismissively blame the beggars for the situation they find themselves in: "Angrenor for some reason won't take another job" and "Silda is obviously a thief". Replace 'Silda is' with, 'the Dunmer are'. Replace "Angrenor" with "the Dunmer", and you get exactly the same rhetoric for which you yourself are attacking the Stormcloaks!! In those two posts you have very effectively backed up my initial argument with a healthy hint of hypocrisy on the side. Ulfrics point is in fact driven by race, the fact he lets Altmer live in his city only further prove he's a Thalmor agent.

The beggar argument, really, how is a Jarl meant to do anything about someone else's deeds?

They are forced to live in a slum, I even seriously doubt if they truly own the place or if Ulfric's father gave them those places. Note that Ulfric wasn't in charge when the Dunmer came to Skyrim.

All the Dunmer have a job, and none of them are thiefs, nor teach any thief related skills.
