I agree.

Yes Ulfric is racist. But he does have good reasons to be. Think about it. He was betrayed by the Empire after the Thalmor forced them into a treaty. He hates the elves for that, they took away his god. And if we look at our own history, nothing starts a war quicker then when religions clash.

So he doesn't let the argonians in the city. Yes it's because they aren't nords. Honestly, though, the argonians didn't care, and they would side with whoever would keep them alive longer.

Yes he doesn't stop the nords in his city from bullying the dark elves. Well, he hates elves. Innocent untill proven guilty, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be sceptical.

Yes Ulfric is kind of racist. But if you play having your character not be a nord, you'll see that Ulfric is willing to get past that if he sees you, another race, even maybe an elf, wants to fight for his god, for his country. It is for these reasons and others that I have been able to look past that. To quote Ralof:

"I've heard some things about Ulfric I don't like, but he's right about this war and about Skyrim's future." You say the Empire betrayed him, but it was Ulfric who first betrayed the Empire.

The Argonians don't care? ''So what if the Nords don't like us? We don't like them right back!'' That's from an Argonian dockworker in Windhelm, so yes they care.

Give him one reason to be sceptical, please.

Galmar is still a racist asshole though, qeustioning your motives because you're a non-Nord.
