No. The Argonians are thieves and assasins by their culture. Their society is hist based - a highly halucinogenic substance. They are addicts in the moment of their birth. Also Black Marsh is a hard land to live in. As the Argonian account books describe. You need to learn how to steal and kill at the very young age to survive. Also the Shadowscales were revered in the past. And freely given to the Dark brotherhood for training. The Archein tribe was selling other argonians into slavery. Also they are not saint. Even tho they were enslaved by the Dunmer for centuries it does not (because it will never do) justify the slaughter of the Dunmer population after the eruption of the Red Mountain, when the whole country was on the edge of colapse.

The Dunmer are complaining. I am a very tolerant person in RL. And I accept most cultures as equals. But, there are minorieties, which even when given a chance will not work for the community. RL cases are muslims in many Scandinavian and West European (Sharia law initiative in London) cities and gypsies in west Europe (who are using little children for beggar buisness). Hlalu and Athis are examples of Dunmer who could adapt, and win the respect of the Nords. And who gave them the right to live in Windhelm? The nords. It was not the Empires idea, but Skyrim's. Even tho the relationship between Nords and Elves (in general) is genocidal at least on both sides.
