You would rather doom an entire empire than give up open worship of your god? I'm sorry, but I just don't see any logic in that. It seems incredibly arrogant and self-serving. And I wouldn't consider racism acceptable simply because of war. I realize that it's one of the easiest ways for racism to blossom (generalization seems to be human nature, even more so during war-time), but that doesn't make it OK. And of course they would end up facing further retribution from the Thalmor after losing, but that doesn't justify taking up arms in the first place.

The stormcloaks were unwilling to make sacrifices for the sake of everyone else, made a tantrum worthy of a spoiled brat, and pretty-much screwed themselves over from there on out. If they win, they'll be easy targets for a Thalmor invasion. If they lose, the Thalmor'll most likely get back at them anyways.
