It could literally be anything, since Lokir stole a horse and was going to the block because of such - though I beleve that they thought he was a rebel.

I have a dark elf, it's highly likely that he came over illegally due to the eruption in Morrowind, and was in the worst spot at the worst time. Though, he'd certainly be an Uncle Tom if he sided with the stormcloaks.

Or it could just be that most Nords are racist.
