Except the Legion has Nord, Imperial, Breton, Redguard, Altmer, Dunmer, and Orsimer members, and has always been a multi-cultural force. You couldn't argue that they'd normally only let in Imperials and that Bethesda was just pandering.

Really? Do you see any elven members of the legion in-game? No? So the empire either banned all non humans or bethesda simply chose not to include any other races for both factions.
