The races in Skyrim are essentially the same in level of skill. Some simply start off with some skills just a tad higher than others. This is just for the purpose of making the choice of race, easier for someone who already has a play style in mind, before starting the game. e.g An archer may choose a Bosmer for the purpose of getting a headstart in the skill of archery.

But in the end, they can all reach the same degree of power.
