Since a lot of the Argonian-worshipping in this thread is followed by statements such as "For Black Marsh!", is it safe to assume that it's the fanatic faction that ruled Black Marsh during the events of the Infernal City and beyond you're supporting? I have nothing against Argonians in general myself, but I do have something against Argonians who'd perform ethnic cleansing on their own people just because some were "corrupted" by Imperial ways. (While most Dunmer merely wanted outlander Dunmer to leave them alone. Only a minority, like the Camonna Tong and perhaps the Ashlanders wanted them all dead.)
I also fail to see why there's hate against the Dunmeri people as a whole when the only ones who were really into slavery were Dres and Telvanni. Most Dunmer were either opposed to slavery, or only supported it because it was part of their "ancient rights" even if they didn't actually own or want slaves themselves. (A true Redoran would never own slaves, for instance.)
The way I see it, regular Argonians who're not part of the fanatic faction from Black Marsh would have nothing in particular against the Dunmer of today. A lot of Dunmer would probably feel a grudge against the Argonians still, especially the Dunmer who didn't go any further than Solstheim or, say, Port Telvannis, but I doubt there's some collective racial hatred against the Argonians as a species. As a longtime Dunmer roleplayer, the only ones I feel any grudge against are the aforementioned fanatics, if that means anything.
