It's not. Racism is Nords yelling "Skyrim belongs to the Nords" to justify all combat. Racism is what has happened to Windhelm under Ulfric's leadership. Racism is the state of Skyrim for so many Mer and Betmer. Racism is Argonians either leading lives starving off of the Windhelm Docks, trying to keep under the radar, or looking to crime to survive. Racism is Khajiit being kept out of cities because some people just don't like them and they associate skooma with them as a ubiquitous excuse. Racism is Orcs forced to create their own secluded settlements as to not ever interfere with Nordic society and beliefs. Racism is the notion that Skyrim belongs to the Nords and only the Nords: no Empire, no elves, nothing but Nords.

As an Imperial, I don't fight exclusively for the Nords. I fight for Skyrim.
