Draevan, here's why Ulfric can put resources into "Nord villages" rather than Khajiit.

Well first of all it's a simple question. What do the Khajiit do for Ulfric? Nothing, as far as the war is concerned. So why would he help those who don't help him? Why would a man, fighting a war, with limited resources, put his men out the protect people who don't do anything in return? Now before you retaliate with "He's the Jarl, it's his job!" think about it. That would be the case if they were residents of Eastmarch, but they're not; they travel around a few holds without permanent abode. Alright, so you can sort of understand why Ulfric won't help people who:

A. Don't do anything for him.

B. Aren't his responsibilty.

C. And even if he wanted to, he's very tied down with the war.

Now for the second reason. Let's reasonably assume all villages can be considered Nord villages, as they are Nord dominated. Even though I know some are missing, it's safe to assume, judging by the other villages, that they can also be considered "Nord villages" for the same reasons. Now the argument people make is that Ulfric only protects these villages because they are Nords, and Ulfric only likes Nords. But ask yourself this, could that be the only reason? Could that even be a main reason? (Nope).

Ulfric can obviously only take a certain number of men of the front lines for guard duty (mainly the ones who have had an incident regarding archery) which is only common sense. Now what's he going to put his men at work doing? Guarding the Khajiit (who we have already established are pointless to guard) or the villages, with his people, who are his responsibilty and rely on him? Villages full of materials, money and bussinesses run by people of all races. So, if you were Ulfric, with limited resources, what would you put men into? Our feline friends (with nothing to offer) or the "Nord Villages" (really just normal villages) with people, business, materials and money? Yes, considering all the factors, you would put your men into defending the villages. Ulfric isn't protecting villages because they're Nord dominated, or because you hates other races, he's protecting them as it they are much more valuable.

P.S. I don't hate Khajiit, or object to them being in Skyrim. I feel I may have come across that way.
