I think you missed the point.

The accepted definition of Racism here is : "Hate of other Races in one species"

The accepted definition of Species is : "a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring"

So due to the fact that interbreeding is possible between all man and mer in Nirn, they are in fact races of one species as opposed to separate species. Meaning racism would be the correct term to use.

The fact that the mothers genetics are dominant in such a pairing is irrelevant.

The fact that the trait variance within the species is quite large is also irrelevant.

Therefor both by virtue of the biological definition and the linguistic definition of the terms used, it is indeed racism.
