Stormcloaks, I play a Nord and I understand their logic for racism, first off, Stormcloaks aren't that bad, I never saw them kill a non-human because of his race, he could have been with the Thalmor or the Empire but never jsut because they are the wrong race. Nords racist agianst Dunmer? The nords and Dunmer had always been the biggest enemy, suddenly Dunmer refugees start mass immigrating to Windhelm. They should be happy the can enter it anyway, they might not be treated as equal, but they are sure of their lives and no dunmer are ever harmed as far as I know in Windhelm. The nord's ascestors build Windhelm as their first city, the Dunmer, a society that worship their ancestors should at least respect that. ALOT of argonians are thieves and drug addicts. Seeing the fact that windhelm already is filled with Dunmer, it would be a unpopular and stupid choice to let them inside the city walls.

The imperials have the worst leaders, ask yourself this, you want someone to be jarl and all he does is making the tax payers money disappear so he can enjoy himself, or you think that is fine because he is a loyal puppet to the empire. Or maybe have a criminal be jarl because she is a friend to the empire(and thalmor) too. Sure, she might have gotten alot of people murdered for minor things, she might have ruined alot of lives so she could have a great business going on, she might finance criminal organizations that murder and steal the innocent. Other then that shes just great.

If you side with the Empire, you can at least keep the guy who gave Ulfric the finger after he liberated his city from the forsworn, just so he could appease the guys that want to murder humanity. You can also get a queen that doesnt even have a claim to the throne or Solitude in the first place(how does getting married give you a claim to a hold AND a kingdom I wonder, at least her nickname is "the Fair" so you can be happy about something) unless she was Torygg's cousin/sister or something. You can also have the jarl with the Daedra worshipping son whom he doesnt give a shit about, who might just get himself murdered by that son.

After the weak empire submitted Hammerfell, Hammerfell actuallly won the war agianst the Thalmor, gaining independence. Stormloaks that are ALSO led by the Dovakhiin should not have a problem.

Ulfric cares about the people he leads, he might be a power hungry butthole, but at least hes better then Tullius who takes a dump on all Nords and their culture.

Yes, Stormcloaks are so evil for protecting their country from foreign occupation(sure, Skyrim may have always been a part of the Empire, but it's culture and people are so disregarded now it is more of a occupation) and not having leaders that are cowards, murderous/evil criminals and good for nothing braggarts. Oh noes, Stormcloaks are racist agianst people that hated Nords for centuries but, sure they might not persecute them that much but at least Imperials are nice enough to totally disregard the nord's cultural heritage and give their racial enemies the same rights as them.
