"Windhelm a female Dunmer is harassed just because she's a Dunmer".

Yes by a drunk and a beggar not exactly prime candidates of society in Windhelm but you know what I found really offensive that a gate keeper was publicly executed for opening a door all conducted by the Hold's guard captain also those remarks are uttered by most Nords even on the imperial side their racism is culturally tied with most Nords within Skyrim not just the Stormcloaks and the Empire didn't seem to care about the Dunmer after the red year and before and after the Great war and that was a span of what a hundred and seventy years to send aid for them not including after or a hundred and fifty eight years to help after gaining an emperor. Windhelm must really be "a cess pool of racism" considering that four Altmer,  five Imperials and three Dunmer all have stable jobs and are accepted into society and are not being harassed what so ever such as Nurelion the owner of The White Phial, Ulundil the owner of Windhelm Stables, his wife Arivanya, and Niranye and altmer who admitted that she was treated poorly by the Nords when she first arrived in Windhelm but worked her way up proved to them that she was useful to society and became an equal in Windhelm and also owns property within Windhelm. theirs also the Imperials Orthus Endario office manager of the East Empire Trading Company, Quintus Navale Nurelion's assistant in The White Phial, Viola Giordano a wealthy elderly woman who was married to a Imperial Captain in the great war, Calixto Corrium owner of the Museum of oddities, and Adonato Leotelli a writer. The Dunmers Idesa Sadri a Live-in nanny for Clan Cruel-Sea ,Luaffyn a bard working in the Candlehearth Hall Inn, and Belyn Hlaalu who even owns property outside Windhelm .meaning that well the Nords would be willing to accept other races into their society if you know they would earn their respect and their racial slurs against the Dunmer in Windhelm are diected to the Dunmer in the Grey-Quarter not all the Dunmer across Skyrim primarily because most of them do not contribute to society since they arrived from The Red Year more than a hundred years ago and wont support the war not really petty racism because it wouldn't make sense since they should then treat the Altmer population worse for obvious reasons in the cause of their rebellion and the Stormcloaks allow any race to join and this is not for the sake of gameplay Redguard farmers head to Windhelm to join and even if we dont see them in game this can be applied to the Dunmer farmers in the Empire as well and when ask Galmar Stone-fist if the Stormcloaks are a Nord only Rebelion in his dialogue when you first meet him to join he states that they are not looking for Nord only Rebellion they are fighting for independence with anybody willing to fight for Skyrim regardless of race.
