Something else that makes me really mad about this whole Stormcloak vs Imperials thing is how people say that Ulfric is confining the Dark Elves to the Gray Quarter. There are some of the richest people in Skyrim living in Windhelm. The majority of Dark Elves fled to Windhelm during the Eruption of Vvardenfall and the subsequent invasion of the Argonians. These are refugees. They are not going to be able to afford to to live in the houses of some of the richest people in Skyrim. They are refugees they have very little possesions to live with. It is the equivalant of a immigrant fleeing persecution asking to stay at a wealthy persons house, the person saying no, and the Mayor of the city being blamed for the refugee ending up in a bad living area. If Ulfric was truly the enormus power hungry racist that evrybody claims him to be, then he would have simply kicked the Dark Elves out of Windhelm when he became Jarl.
