User blog comment:ShawnCognitionCP/The Empire vs Stormcloaks, the most likely answer/@comment-9601450-20140618223830/@comment-17114085-20140619221014

I agree 100%. The only people that use the "Stormcloaks are racist!" claim to devalue the Stormcloaks (Even though the Nords that are acting racist in Windhelm aren't even associated with the Stormcloaks) have never played the other games. The dunmer from Vvardenfell are just as racist, if not worst, than the Nords. And the Dunmer are racist against everyone, not just one or two races.

Racism is a mainstream thing in TES Universe, where there are many different races that have fought amounst each other for countless years.

The Bosmer and the Khajiit hate each other. The Altmer hate everyone. The Argonians hate the Dunmer. The Nords dislike the dunmer (Whom they have fought in at least three different wars. Not to mention that the Chimer were conquered by the Nords in the early 1st Era.). The Dunmer hate the Imperials, and look down on everyone else. Etc.
