Here are the variants for the quest:

Persuasion- Player: They'll work harder if you pay them more.

Torbjorn: (Success) Bold words, but true. Fine, you win. I'll pay the Argonians more coin.

Torbjorn: (Fail) They don't work now. Why should I waste more money?

Bribe- Player: What if I invest in their future?

Torbjorn: (Success) Paying the wages yourself? Well, I won't say no to gold. By my family's honor, this money will go to the Argonian workers.

Torbjorn: (Fail) What future?

Intimidate- Player: Pay them, or things will get ugly.

Torbjorn: (Success) Easy. Maybe I was being too harsh on them. By the honor of Clan Shatter-Shield, they will be paid fairly. You have my word.

Torbjorn: (Brawl-victory) Damn boot-lover. Player: You pay those Argonians fairly, or else. Torbjorn: I yield. By the honor of Clan Shatter-Shield, the Argonians will be paid as much as any other worker.

So far Draevan, in this Blog, you have been really biased. Even going as low as to distorted actual dialogue to win the argument. The Argonians aren't working as hard as the Nords, this is why Torbjorn isn't paying them as much. It has nothing to do with race.
