Yes, I remember something said about Altmer not liking the Bosmer, and something about depending on your race, people will treat you differently...

About Altmer: Well, according to the official ElderScrolls site, they are a really, really proud (to the point of overbearing) race, thinking of themselves the most cultured and civilized and that's what makes the other races think of them as 'snobs'. It could be due to the fact that 'the common tongue of the Empire, Tamrielic, is based on Altmer speech and writing, and most of the Empire's arts, crafts, and sciences are derived from High Elven traditions.'

Bosmer are really with nature and are into the cannibalism stuff, so that could be why Altmer target them in particular as being 'uncivilized'. Actually, the Bosmer remind me of some tribes in the real world (the whole eating your dead relatives thing, anyway).

But, yeah, I remember an interview mentioning that racism was in. So I guess if you're a Bosmer, the Altmer race in particular would like you the least. Maybe you have a lower chance of bargaining successfully with an Altmer shopkeeper if you were a Bosmer?
