User blog comment:Longdead97/Ulfric's war effort & gaining support. Smart move or no?/@comment-5558140-20130324032553/@comment-1600847-20130327153755

I know, I came out of nowhere. No one ever expects Canadians. You're just sitting there and then BAM.

And while I don't think Ulfric himself is racist, the Stormcloaks in general sure seem to be. I believe Ulfric is just another political leader seizing the moment to rise to power. Sure, he hates the Thalmor, but I think he just wants to be High King. Why else kill Torygg, who practically worshipped him and would have seceeded Skyrim had Ulfric simply asked?
