They might not be as bad as you think. They thought the Men of Rohan were savages and murdured their captives (Says so after the battle of Helms Deep). They were still good-for-nothing savages, even if they didn't know what the truth was. Burn the Strawhead!

Seriously though, Dunlendings and Rohirrim situation are a bit like Israel and Palestine's, it's just a series of unneeded violence that only is built around a bunch of lies and a homeland.

Imagine if the Dunlendings and Rohirrim simply found a way to negotiate peace, the Dunlendings got to live in Rohan without being kicked out or having competition for food sources, and the Rohirrim didn't get raided or attacked, while also having a larger population.

This would never happen simply because of hate on both sides of the stick. Well, the Rohirrim did have mercy on Dunland after their loss at the Hornburg; they agreed to let them live as long as they helped fix up Helm's Deep. That is true!

After the violence that was stirred up by Saruman (at Dunland and Rohan's expense) they eventually found an agreement. However- things could have ended up much more peacefully had it not been for that.
