B:Do you ever see High Elves worshiping Auri-El? Do you see the Khajiit worshiping their gods? Do you see the Bosmer worshiping their gods? No, because if they did the Nords and Redguards and others would most likley kill them on sight. But you don't see any shrines of Knye either, or Alduin or Shor etc. All of which are nordic gods!

The reason why is because virtually every nation has their own pantheon of gods, so when the Empire was formed they instead condensed them into the eight, and later nine, divines. They are the only widely worshipped gods throughout Tamriel. It doesn't make the nords racist, it's like that in the entire Empire. It's not illegal to worship any god (excluding things like the Daedra) until the Thalmor come along!
