He's not trying to force out all non-Nords, he's trying to secede Skyrim from the Empire. If the Stormcloaks were truly trying to get rid of all non-Nords, then why does the Stormcloak Jarl of Morthal have an Argonian Housecarl?

And did I say the Empire "withdrew" from Hammerfell? No, no I didn't. Because there was no "withdraw", the Empire renounced Hammerfell for not obeying the White-Gold Concordat and removed them from being a province of the Empire. Yet despite this, Hammerfell would fight for the next five years alone against the Aldmeri Dominion, and win.
