Well, we have a which race do you like thread, so I figured why not have one for the race you've found that you dislike through your Skyrim travels. ; )

Before watching the Lord of the Rings, my answer would have been the Redguard because I HATE how you cant make a white guy as a Redguard. However, now that I have watched Lord of the Rings, I have to say Orcs......that movie single handedly ended my 40 hour Orc campaign....

This is for custom titles?
A Redguard is a Redguard. There's no making him white unless you're cheating.

On my end of the spectrum, it would have to be Dark Elf. Not only for the power ups but for the fact that no matter which way you customize your character, he'll still look boss from the third person view.

And that's a bad thing? I'm not a fan of the Argonian of Khajiit. I only say that because they are both a-holes in Skyrim. They are always in a bad mood or want to kill you. Also, I'm probably the minority here but IMHO, I don't think they look very good graphically.

Orc, I have no idea why, I would just never go an Orc as a character over anything else.

Redguard.

I'm just not a fan. I guess it's because the other races are more memorable. Maybe my opinion will change once The Elder Scrolls: Hammerfell is released.

No soul gem large enough.
Redguard and Imperial in equal measures. I've never played either and don't intend to. They just don't interest me.

They might share the same name, but they don't share the same history. The Orcs in LOTR aren't the same as the Orcs of the Elder Scrolls ^_^ It's like breaking up with a girlfriend because she has the same name as someone you don't like, even though they're totally different at heart. :p But I can understand if you were turned off just because of outward similarities that might have reminded you of the LOTR Orcs, like their more grotesque appearance.

Aw, common, they're not all bad. I've found the majority of the beast races wandering in Skyrim to be very friendly, especially the khajiit in the caravans. They were shunned and forced to make camp outside of the cities. That might kind of put a dent in someones spirits, you know? lol :p Many of the Argonians were put to work by the docks and the Nords weren't even paying them too. I've run into more a-hole humans and elves (naturally, since there's more of them) than I have beast races in my journeys. Bandits out to slit my throat, black robe gangs wanting to zap me into Oblivion, Forsworn attacking me before even introducing themselves, necromancers wanting to turn me into some puppet of the undead for giggles :confused:

I prefer human and I don't care for either beast race or orcs. However I really detest High Elves sickly yellow skin. It's really nasty looking.

High elves. Because they're snobs. But my full-mage is an Altmer and I try to play him the way they would act in the game world. Like a snobby, self-entitled jerkwagon who is above everyone else. Hey, it IS supposed to be role playing, right?

I also have a woody and and orc. Haven't played a Nord yet because they seem like racists to me and I would have a hard time playing that way, even in a game.

You have successfully changed my opinion :) That is probably a first in forums history.

Noooooo. Stop hating! Stereotypes and racism is not cool! ...

I don't like Altmers. Most of them are snob douchebags. Well, actually. Almost everyone in Skyrim is snobby douchebags to you but I don't think it has to do with race most of the time. But the Thalmors are really give me a bad impression on Altmers. They think they are superior simply because they think they are closer to Gods.

High elves can suck my willy. In real life I hate snobbery. Same goes for in the game. They just seem like gigantic A-holes.

I also don't like people who are full of them selfs... same goes for the game. There are some stuff I dislike fromthe principles in real life. For example I favore Khajiit race and I avoid to kill fellow Khajiit even if it is enemy (there aren't much in skyrim also), that is if it is possible. But there is one certain Khajiit I could choose to let him alive and I was planing to do so... But the moment he said he is rapist I killed him.

I have NO idea why, but lizard people enrage me. I'm extremely racist against them, and they usually end up dead in my games.

Are you afraid of the coldbolded animals? :D

Maybe :p I suppose it's possible I inherited this racism from my brother, he played TES games before I did, and I used to ask him about Oblivion a lot. He's very racist against the lizards, cats, and all elves. (I'm too lazy to remember their proper names, my apologies.)
