False. The Nords themselves are a mix of Atmoran and Nedic bloodlines--they are not "pure" Atmoran descendants. The Forsworn in the Reach are half Breton, half Nord. There are Nords who are wed to non-Nords throughout all of the holds. The cosmopolitan Empire was established by Nords who supported Tiber Septim in his conquests. There even are numerous Stormcloak soldiers who are non-Nord, notably Cade, the son of Endon and the Imperial farmers you see on the roads who head for Windhelm to join the uprising. Ralof pleads with you to join the Stormcloaks even if you are not Nord, saying "You don't need to be a Nord to want to fight for Skyrim's freedom."

You must learn to pay attention before making such prejudiced and simplistic statements yourself.
