I know, it's terrible what they did to Braig's daugher. But was the entire Nordic race that did that? No! that was the most corupt man in the Reach, Silverblood! I can never defiritntiate his name from his brother's name, but he wanted to use Forsworn for his own purposes, that's why he kept Madonach alive and since he needed someone to work the silver mines, he made sure that only some involving with Forsworn would be exectuted, while others would be kept in the mines. Appearantly not even Jarl Igmund knows that Silverblood uses Madonach and Forsworn for his own purposes. Sometimes I don't know which city is more corrupt, Markarth or Riften.

By the way, if you think that all Nords in the Reach are just like the Silverblood, who would kill an innocent girl, who pleaded to them to keep her father from execution  and let him go free, and then trow him into the mine anyways. Why don't you think that every Nords in the Rift are corrupted, have ties to both Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild and would use their connection to destroy you if you dared to stand in their way? That is exactly how Maven is, who the rudest and most corrupt person in Skyrim, who might not even give you title of Thane for putting her on throne.

Few bad apples spoil the bunch, there is no reason to blame all the Nords for the way Reachmen are treated. Blame the wealthy and powerful.
