Yeah, but it's not hard-coded in their blood to do those things. You can meet a few High Elves who are either saddened by or actively resiting the Aldmeri Dominion. Some of them even face racist remarks despite not even being part of the Dominion.

You can meet Nords who are bothered by Ulfric's nationalist vendetta against the Empire.

Also, all the khajiit you meet (even if they are technically committing crimes) are almost always welcoming and friendly towards you. A lot of their illicit activities only occur because they're not allowed to enter cities in Skyrim if they're part of a caravan.

Also not sure where you're getting orientalism from Argonian. They're much closer to Native Americans , both North and South, in terms of culture.
