Well, as far as we know, Talos did actually become a god. In Oblivion, you need the 'blood of a divine' to complete a quest and blood from Tiber Septim's armor is used. Then in Knights of the Nine Talos' blessing allows the player to enter the spirit world and return. And of course, in Skyrim shrines to Talos behave just like shrines of the other divines. So there is ample evidence that Tiber Septim did manage to obtain godhood somehow.
Why does everyone hate the Thalmor?

Thalmor are the ruling body of the Aldmeri Dominion. Altmer are a race, Thalmor are the Government.
They were a minority over two hundred years ago, they now control three provinces and have eliminated the competition. They even went over to Hammerfell to finish the job on Altmer dissidents, who fled them.
I wouldn't exactly call what they do in order to 'survive'. They invaded the Empire, and nearly destroyed it. They want to unmake the world, because they see Nirn/Mundas to be a prison. They maintain racial purity, because they want to resemble Aldmer.
They're arrogant, extreme and the greatest threat to Tamriel. It wasn't kill or be killed for them, it was just kill because everyone is inferior.

From responses gathered here, it seems like a lot of people will literally kill them on sight. The thalmor typically give a warning to back off, just like the imperials and stormcloaks who roam around.
Really, I don't see what makes them any better or worse than the stormcloaks. They're both ultra-conservative and extremely racist.

Stormcloaks aren't racist, they're nationalistic.
Thalmor conduct racial purges, torture and kill any who question them.
There is a difference to a few slurs and flat out genocide.

I dont 'hate them I know too little about them. They're annoying but I can't say much more than that.
Stormcloaks on the other hand...
Nationistic and rascist?
Diffrerence of intent, or simply lacking the means to carry it out?
The idea that the Grey Quarter is a 'tiny slum' or that the Dunmer are actually confined there is debatable, but that would take this thread waaaay off topic.

The Thalmor are literally trying to unmake the world. At least, I'm pretty sure they are. Been awhile since I read up on it.

If unmaking the world means we'd be rid of Miley Cyrus, I can't say I'm all that against it.
Throw in Bieber, and sign me up.

I'd don the Thalmor robes for that myself.

The Stormcloak cause isn't racist, you have a few here and there on both sides. But just because one is racist, doesn't mean they all are.
