You aren't given any backstory aside from being a prisoner (As an Argonian, it's suggested you were a worker at the docks but that was just a guess by Hadvar).

I could see an Argonian sympathizing with the Stormcloaks' cause of freedom from the Empire. The Black Marsh has a history of fighting to remain free from the Empire as well.

He or she might think: "Skyrim is for the Nords, Black Marsh is for the Argonians."

A "Black Marsh Nationalist" Dragonborn also probably wouldn't care that they treat the Dunmer poorly, given their history there, and might even see Argonians trying to integrate too firmly into Imperial or Skyrim culture as betraying the Hist. You see Argonians in Skyrim praying to the Imperial gods for instance.

I only slightly disagree in that I doubt such an Argonian would be that concerned about the Dominion. More likely, the Dragonborn might not even care about the Dominion/Empire war. Even Tiber Septim never truly conquered the Black Marsh. Let the Elves come and try.

A Thalmor invasion of Black Marsh sounds insteresting I'll admit. They'd have to rely heavily on Khajiit and Bosmer allies.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, there is an established faction of Argonians called the An-Xileel who might fit the mindset I'm thinking of. What on earth he or she would have been doing that got them stuck on that cart in the intro is something to ponder. The only reason the Argonians revolted was Thalmor tampering, nothing else.

The Dunmer banned slavery, so that argument goes out the window.
