Although it seems that Nords not making it any easier, by preaty much opressing Reachmen. However, I am not sure when that opression started, making Reachmen work smelters, live in poverty. Possibly that started only after Nords took Reach back over at the end of Great War. So I am guessing, you cannot exactly say that Nords are bad to the Reahmen and that proves their prejudice. Although I am still trying to figure out weather "Children of the Sky" was a biased book, trying to show Nords as always being prejudiced, who never wanted to share kinship with their conquered people, and just opressing them. Reach was always part of Skyrim and Nords of the Reach are just as native to it as ethnic Bretons that also are native to Reach and called Reachmen. All you really have to look at when regarding who was in the Reach first is the Nordic Temples all over the Reach. Those date to the Dragon Wars back in the Merethic Era, before Nords even knew Bretons existed.
