Those are nor races but different species. If i believe that dolphins are inferior, does it make me a racist?
Everyone is classified in game as race in character creator, because it is a useful shorthand (and the term "race" - quote, unquote - is also used in the book titled "Notes on Racial Phylogeny, Seventh Edition"). Whether you would be racist or specist for hating on Argonians or Khajiit specifically is really a cosmetic difference at this point.
What they are called is not the question, we are shown what they are in the game. Don't dodge the question. Am I a "specist" for hating Dolphins? Why not or why yes?

Races are a social construct

because society taught them different things. Their skin colour, bone structure, and skull shape were morphed by the things society told them. Truly magical.
