While the greater majority of the Stormcloaks are in fact Nords, there are a few hints of the Stormcloaks accepting non-Nords. A few examples: Endons son, Cade(who is Redguard), is/was a member of the Stormcloaks. There is an Imperial farmer who braves his way through the wilderness to Windhelm to join the Stormclaoks. And of course, the most obvious one, the Dragonborn can join the Stormcloaks as any race(even as an elf or Argonian). Galmar acknowledges the Dragonborn as a true son/daughter of Skyrim once he/she is in and other Stormcloak soldiers will respect and honor his/her rank(s). Funny thing about that Imperial Farmer: his counterpart, the Dunmer farmer heading to Solitude to join the Legion, can later be found standing around the Blue Palace in Solitude, and will remain there for the rest of the game. The Imperial Farmer going to Windhelm to join the Stormcloaks... is never seen again. Not sure if Bethesda intended that, but there it is.

And let's be honest, Bethesda wouldn't have restricted membership of Stormcloaks to only Nords, players would've thrown a hissy fit. The empire must've not cared enough to ever get to letting him join...the stormcloaks must've signed him up right away. After all if the DB joins before he's even known as the DB there's no reason for them to deny anyone else.
