Listen to Tullius' tone vs. Ulfric/Galmar's tone. Galmar and Ulfric are obviously showing at least some contempt towards an Elven recruit, Tullius doesn't seem to. Believe me, my first playthrough was an Argonian who joined the Legion, and I never picked up on any kind of contempt towards Argonians. Same with Cynthia, an Imperial female.

No, it isn't, because that particular quote from Adrianne refers to the actual shop she owns. May I remind you that Aval is a butcher. He sells meat. Sadri is a general goods merchant. He sells just about whatever you need. So I doubt Aval has as much inventory as Sadri.

I'm not saying that the guards shouldn't have investigated, I'm saying that I very much doubt that they went to investigate purely because a Khajiit merchant went missing. Since there is absolutely no proof they went to investigate the disappearance of a Khajiit merchant, and there are many more Nords than Khajiit in Skyrim, it can be safely assumed that they went to investigate the disappearances of a group of traveling Nords. So no, it isn't enough, because there is absolutely no proof that they were investigating the disappearance of Khajiit.

"Bigot and manipulator", you say? Prove it. Give me something definitive that I can't explain to you, and then we'll talk.

Ralis is like the LDB in this context. Ralis' employers know where they want is, they know how to get it, and they know what it is, but they don't want to hire someone incompetent. So they hire Ralis, whom they have heard of, just like how Brunwulf spends his money on a known dragonslayer rather than a common mercenary.

See, the thing is, I proved it was true, though. I have yet to see you prove that propaganda to be true in any way, shape, or form. So if one person has proof and the other has more people believing what he's saying (with proof that has yet to be shown, if it exists), he who has the most followers wins? How does that work?

Correction: Potema (who, by the way, was not a lich) was being raised underneath Wolfskull Cave. Her spirit just escaped when the LDB stopped the necromancers from raising her. Roggvir's execution was because he opened the gate and let Ulfric escape. In a way, he started the Civil War. You don't think starting a war deserves execution? Jaree-Ra hasn't actually done anything wrong and no one can prove that he has, so the guards technically can't do anything about him.

Now allow me to list Windhelm's flaws: A murderer runs rampant on the streets, the Dunmer and Argonians are blatantly oppressed by the Nords, Ulfric and his groupies have made the city a clear defiance of the White-Gold Concordat (an Imperial law, not a choice), and practically no one in the city is happy. Funny how Ulfric has made the "City of the Kings" a haven of racism, murder, and anarchy. Sounds like a nice place.

What persecution? There are no Dunmer supremacists seen in Windhelm, save Ambarys, and the Nords never visit the Cornerclub to hear what he thinks about them anyways. At least he has the courtesy not to say it to their faces. "Nords of Skyrim" may not appear like a Nord supremacy book, but it certainly seems to underline their qualities extremely boldly, almost unnecessarily so. "Dunmer of Skyrim" only lines up with Ambarys' attitude, Canuck. Maybe you need to spend more time in the Grey Quarter, or are you too high and mighty for that?

Prove that Ulfric doesn't mistreat the Dunmer. I've proven that he has, given that he can raise their taxes but not afford to hand over supplies to help them. Now it's your turn to prove that he doesn't. And provide solid proof, please. I don't want to sit here all day disproving something that isn't true.
