    My 2nd runner up is High elves, they are more Racist than the ***.<-edit since I cant say k three times ill say skin heads.

    My favorites are Argonians or as I call them, the Iksar
    Nords and Redguards. Clearly I prefer the nomadic tribal races.

    Oooh. Those.

    No, most furs I know arent into the Japanese stuff either. And I personally know a bunch.

    They usually show up at game cons and comic cons dressed up in character cosplays that happen to be animals. Specific anime cons are avoided by all but the one girl in a wheelchair that does a lot of anime cosplays since she doesnt have to get up and move around much in some of them.

    For me it's Imperial (which you left out).

    While I do have access to the class, because we have less character slots than we do races I had to go with the character concepts I wanted to play the most and sadly my concept my Imperial would have fit into didn't quite make the cut.

    I will never play as a Khajiit. In fact, I have my character's entire back story sorrounded by how much I hate the Khajiit (I'm more a dog person anyway's). He's been betrayed by Khajiit before (I won't go into detail but it was brutal) and as a result has sought nothing but vengence against their furry kind. He does this so much so that he actively sought out the rumours of werewolves in order to gain their power and lust for their natural animal enemy.

    His helmet, a Khajiit head taken from the field of battle and reinforced with wads of cotten. He's a little hard core.

    after thorough inspection I can safely say that my gender(interchangeably : sex) is male.
    but I must agree, Elenwen that we see in Skyrim is a fine lady, one that I would fancy to meet [tadada tadada TES V loading save]. ESO's Elenwen is nothing more than a wailing hag, may she fall down the stairs and impale herself.

    Throughout my TES experience (which is mostly Morrowind through to Skyrim and now Online) I can say with all honesty that I never one touched the following races:
    • Argonian - No real appeal, I typically don't play non-humanoid races and they also lacked decent racials throughout the series.
    • Khajiit - See above
    • Nords - Given my caster preference their racials never appealed and they were just another general human race.
    • Orsimer - My least favourite Mer, melee based racials and therefore useless.
    • Redguards - See above but replace Mer with Men.

    I typically gravitate towards Mage classes in games so the Breton / Altmer were my normal go-to-class with the Dunmer being interesting for lore reasons over actual magical prowess (Telvanni mages are awesome). I made an Imperial for a Nightblade (Online) and a Werewolf Bosmer marksmen (Morrowind), but I can't say that I'll ever use the races again.

    I wonder why people keep accusing the Altmers of being the most racist. We have not enslaved other races (like the dunmer and allyieds) nor have we attempted genocide (ahem, Bretons and Redgaurds killing orcs).

    In fact, we're friends with those around us. The wood elves see themselves as equals and the khajit love us for saving their culture twice. In fact, the only thing we are guilty of is being anti-immigration, but aren't most Americans guilty of the same sentiment?

    Altmer practise eugenics infanticide, they see bosmer and khajiit as lesser races, in the future they will purge Valenwood of heretics and dissidents, they have caused Void Nights, they want to erase MAN and unmake the world. oh and yes, they have slaves, mostly goblins but filth like dunmer happend too.

    that being said, there is nothing wrong with racism. it is a desire of a fool to expect from an Altmer to treat cattle as their equals.
