I did feel like they went a bit light on the racism in Skyrim, too. In Morrowind, you'd get called the N-word multiple times a day.

!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

"Look, supporting a Nord ethnostate does not make me racist. I'm just proud of my heritage and want all the inferior races to leave Skyrim."
Wow, I didn't know they added podcasts to Skyrim too!
"You're listening to Nord Talk with Thornaff Skullcrusher, but first a message from our partners at Raid: Shadow Legends..."
I mean, Windhelm is basically the equivalent of the Texas Secessionist Movement, so they're just trying to make it accurate to the lore.
Would make sense for the game though
Well, better than the other kind of racism I see modders indulging in.

Unless this mod adds the N word, t's really not. There's a lot of racism in the elders scrolls universes that is there for worldbuilding as opposed to thinly-veiled stereotypes of real races like in Harry Potter*. Pretty much every race has issues with the others just like they would in the real life equivalent of the time period.
It's not at all the same as other mods which add real world bigotry into the game
*One could argue that Khajiits are analogous to the Romani people but it's a stretch
This is a rule. If you can think of it, a mod for it in Skyrim exists
