User blog comment:IGotsAName/Empire vs Stormcloaks... Gray & Grey Morality? Really?/@comment-84.92.68.77-20120408212218/@comment-4113369-20120408224411

"this is Tamriel not Apartheid". Could you elaborate on that one? Apartheid is a system of racial segregation, while Tamriel is a fictional continent. The line makes no sense.

I emphatically disagree with the notion that racism is an irrelevant factor. The other races are treated like dung, which (assuming the Stormcloaks win the civil war) could lead unrest and uprisings in the long run. Not to mention that it's also disgusting from a moral standpoint (Which many would relevant, all on its own).

By the way, how would the nords be stronger without the Empire? If they got their independence, wouldn't their only real reward be being able to worship Talos again? It'd probably help morale, but Legion support sounds more helpful than a morale boost.
