While the character's race is undefined at the start... Each game throws the character into the lore/politics of each province's native race.

In Oblivion for example, you are thrust into the midst of Imperial politics, while Skyrim drops you into Nordic lore and mythology.

So in effect you are an "Imperial" in Oblivion and a "Nord" in Skyrim, in that you are immersed in that race's culture regardless of the race you choose at the start.
