User blog comment:Some Argonian Named Kesch/Stormcloak Rebellion: Is Anyone Really Right?/@comment-1600847-20131108223946

I disagree with your assessment of the Stormcloaks to an extent. Racist? No, at least not in general. They're Nationalists. This is evidenced in their battle-cry: "Skyrim belongs to the Nords!" and the fact that their faction is comprised solely of Nords. If you're a Nord, I can see why you'd join the Stormcloaks, self-interest. But if you're any other race, you're better off not joining them. Maybe not joining the Imperials either, but certainly not the Stormcloaks.

Here's how I see it:

Imperials: Spineless.

Stormcloaks: Nationalists.
