Firstly, I think that it was a smart move on Ulfric's part to ban Argonians from living inside the city and that I reckon the Argonians don't mind it.

Yes he bans Argonians from living in the city. Yes that seems mean. But it's not because he doesn't like Argonians. It's the Dunmer, they and the Argonians may fight (yes I am aware I said 'may') but please, allow me to explain; The Hist are known to take control of Argonians causing them to lash out violently, like the invasion of Morrwind. If this happened in Windhelm it wouldn't be good. It's the capital of the rebellion, so civil unrest would send out all the wrong messages to our enemies. It would be a sign of weakness. They of course can live peacefully side by side in a city with a little less tense atmosphere, like Riften, where a little fist fight wouldn't send out "COME INVADE US, OUR CITIZENS ARE WEAKENING US, NOW'S YOUR CHANCE!" messages to the Empire. It's just a risk we can't afford.

Secondly, I can't see why the Argonians would prefer inside the city. Out on the docks they're near the water, in the fresh air, with their kin. It would be even better without a certain Dunmer woman, and a certain Shatter-Shield, though; I'll acknowledge that. The Argonians deserve better.
