How is that an insult? I'm just curious, yeah they experience some racism by the likes of Rolff, but that doesn't really mean they're "oppressed", just discriminated against by some of the community, but NOT by the Stormcloaks, in addition it seems that most of the Windhelm refugees are from House Hlaalu, so it's likely the Redoran controlled Morrowind wouldn't care how they are treated (proof multiple Dunmer NPCs have shown legion support and have "Hlaalu" as their last names...)

How would they get to Skyrim? Would the Empire allow them to bring an army though there? They might have to go through Hammerfell, or atleast near it, in addition if the Thalmor attack again, Hammerfell might be in trouble. Possibly causing them to resist once again

The forces of Valenwood and Elswyer don't fight for them, so it's only the Elves of the Summerset Isles vs High Rock, in addition to other provinces likely
