for one example I think the Khajit should be distrusted even as the player character. it's weird in skyrim when many cities are racist to khajit but if you are one, they treat you differently. make it so that if your a khajit you are banned from some areas and have to sneak in. and some npc's have negative interactions with you. maybe a merchant refuses to deal with you, or at very unfair prices.

...because you're the dragonborn. And, if you're being truly realistic, you wouldn't be able to just sneak into a city or town if Khajiit were outright banned (and, even in places where Khajiit travelers are made to camp outside the city, it's not clear that they'd be banned from visiting there or permanently living there). Even if you somehow got in (far easier said than done, if you're being realistic), you'd be severely limited in terms of being able to do anything in the city itself and anybody who saw you would likely report you to the guard.

I got the idea from the old vampire game Bloodlines, where one of the clans looks like a monster and you can't even walk around in public openly without breaking the Masquerade and getting in trouble

iirc, wasn't that how the vamp mechanics are handled in some Elder Scrolls games depending on how much you let your appearance change?
