I'll elicit a contrary opinion here and say that I think the Thalmor are looking to incorporate Morrowind into the Dominon, maybe by force if necessary but certainly on terms equal to at least the Bosmer. I think they are looking to unite the merish races into a united whole like they were when they were all Aldmer; they want to unify merkind the same way the Empire unified mankind.

Also, we talk about the Thalmor like they're monolithic, but as an organization it seems very likely that within the Thalmor there are probably different factions which range from moderate to radical. There may be some more old-school Thalmor who want to see Tamriel ruled by a line of merish rather than mannish emperors and aren't very racist, and of course the newer more jerkish Thalmor who are much more elvish supremacist in their views. Even among the upper echelon of Thalmor who may be conspiring to undo creation, there may be those see this as a form of liberation not only for themselves, but for all souls on Tamriel: men, mer, and beastfolk alike.
