I can see why the uchiha were disgruntled.

To be fair, we've never seen a Hyuuga, Nara or Akimichi acting as hokage or top offical either (at least until Shika's dad in the recent war). From what we've seen, the kages of most village are usually a groomed successor and often family member of a former kage. That's hardly unique to Konoha and it's more practical tradition than any kind of forced discrimination.
But obviously, the Uchiha weren't privy to the candid issues of Konoha's government once segregation was enacted. That's why it was so important to Sasuke's dad that Itachi to be placed into ANBU since they work directly under the Hokage.
