Not all, the snow elves were evil. It wasn't the whole race that massacred the city, yet all of them paid the price. Agreed, the genocide completely unneccessary, that is what driven the Falmer underground and then betrayed by fellow elven jerks, the Dwemer. They were poisoned by the Dwemer, who offered them refuge underground. They were made to eat poisonous mushrooms that made them blind and became a necessary part of their diet, ensuring they would forever remain so.

Just like the Reachmen have reason to hate the Nords and to a degree the Nords have similar justification. As usual crime does pay; Nord bastards get what they deserve in the end.
