Why do loads of people hate Mer, Altmer may be bad but why so much hatred for Bosmer and Dunmer (Bosmer the best)???

Are all Brazilians or Americans in the southern states "bad" because they used slaves in the past, no. I feel it is the same for Dunmer
Were you joking? What is good about havng slaves? Yes the slave owners were/are bad people. It's easy to romanticize slavery when you've never been a slave. Any person having complete control over another beings life is ultimately going to be corrupted by that power.
Since my last post I've become much less ignorant of the Elder Scrolls lore. Mer are the children of the Et'ada that wanted the world unmade and men are the children of the ones who supported creation. While the mer themselves can't be blamed for attempting to bring about the end of the world the gods their worship gives strength to can. The elvish religion must be stamped out to protect convention, and the only feasible way to do so is to defeat them and their puppet governments and install the original Nordic Pantheon (gods who would not destroy the world) as the official tamrielic religion.
They walk around claiming to be decendants of the divine when they are no moreso than any other Race etc etc.
I could go on, but there's really no need.
Everything they do serve only to antagonize the other Races.
Ey by dagon I hate the thalmor but I am still a proud altmer.
The Nords typically dislike elves due to past conflicts they had with them, like the Great War and The Battle of Red Mountain. Not to mention how the Falmer slaughtered the Nord's ancestors when they first settled in Skyrim. But I still dont think they hate them that much. Mabye they have a certain bias against them, but not fullblown hate(except the elves who are Thalmor Justiciars). Otherwise you wouldn't see many of them in Skyrim, even less, seeing them living peacefully and prosperous.
Myself, I dont care for the elves any more than humans and the beast-men. Elf, human, cat or lizard, they all equally have he right of getting my help if they need it or my axe in their head if they cross me.

I'm not justifying slavery, I'm saying that just because you're from the same REGION as people who USED to do bad things like that, it doesn't mean that everyone from there is evil. You get what I am saying?

Xenophobes. Mostly bandits, and even our very own Lydia. "Your kind has no place here".
There are many friendly and helpful Mer out there, be they Bosmer, Dunmer, or Altmer. I believe people judge the Mer races based on the Thalmor's actions, and I also believe other races can be too harsh on Mer sometimes, especially Nords. If you want an example of friendly and helpful Mer in Tamriel, go to the College of Winterhold in Skyrim.
I haven't really came across an Altmer that was friendly or rather any notable ones
that and my characters backstory was about being raised as a slave under one. and escaped at the age of 17 (which then he got on the charage with the familiar lines ingame) "Hey, your finally awake"
