Everyone who is against Ulfric uses the reason "he's racist".. well, a majority of Nords are pretty racist, but so are many other races in Nirn, if not all of them, the most accepting race I've seen are probably the Bosmer.

Anywho, the reason why the Dunmer are living in the Grey-Quarter of Windhelm isn't because Ulfric forces them to, Hoag Merkiller was the one to set up their living situation in the First Era, and I can only assume Ulfric never sought to change it for reasons unknown, which could possibly be seen as some kind of discrimination, we'd never know the entire story, but, Nord and non-Nord races do live peacefully in the city, including Altmers, Imperials and even a successful Dunmer farm owner, and Ulfric doesn't discriminate against any of them, and Ulfric doesn't discriminate against the Dragonborn if he/she isn't a Nord. Just because you see those two Stormcloak supporters insulting a Dunmer the first time you go into Windhelm doesn't mean Ulfric influenced it.

As for Ulfric being a murderer? Well, obviously that is debatable, and there were witnesses, as he said, but we don't really get to know who those witnesses are. I do not think it was murder,  Ulfric admitted that he knew the High King had no chance against him, Torygg agreed to the dual anyway, Ulfric unfairly used his Thu'um as an advantage, but his sword is what finished him off. Ulfric could be in it just for the title 'High King', but at least he's fighting for another cause, he wants to rid Skyrim of those Thalmor bastards and free his people, meanwhile what is Tullius doing? Tullius doesn't seem to give a care in the world for Nords, he's just doing what he's told in the end. Ulfric has a just cause, in my opinion, and his speech sealed the deal for me, of why he fights, could have been false words, who knows? I trust Ulfric, and I believe his words, false or not. He is obviously an influentual man, and he has power. He got all of those men on his side from scratch, while the Empire has had men fighting for them. He's quite honorable on top of it all. It think it was pretty damn pathetic how Empire supporters were all out of their boots when they saw how that Dunmer woman was being treated in Windhelm, but thought it was acceptable to see man put to his death in Solitude because he was helping a man he supported!
