Harold, you say that, but then, so did General Tullius. As he was lying there, Ulfric's axe at his throat, he told Ulfric and the Dragonborn that although the empire aren't necessarily the good guys, they are not the bad guys either. I think the plain fact that General Tullius understands that Tamriel and the Empire needs to be united, and I'm sure there are others who would agree with him, that alone is enough to make me side with the empire. Tullius understands what needs to happen. Stormcloak does not.

The Stormcloaks most certainly ARE racist. They often harrass the dark elves, argonians, and sometimes even the Khajiit and other races. This being said, I doubt strongly that Ulfric himself is racist at all. But his followers most certainly are.

I like Ulfric Stormcloak. I like his patriotism and love of Skyrim and her people. I love his sense of honor and determination to free Skyrim. That being said, I think he lacks any measurable level of foresight, and does not fully understand what is best for Skyrim.
