Why do most people hate Ulfric? Could be a variety of reasons. Maybe some of these people were fans of the previous games like Oblivion and Morrowind. Where the Empire was once great (moreso in Oblivion), and Nords weren't as well known as they are now. Maybe the thought of a Nordic rebellion for it's home nation angers these people.

Maybe some people see the treatment of non-Nord races in Skyrim, and target the highest Nord figure in the province. Maybe they forgot the way non-native races were treated in previous games. Maybe they forgot how the Empire tried to send you home in body bag, without even trying to find out who you are.

Like I said, could be a variety of reasons. All down to the person's opinion.
