Let me make this simple:

The Imperials send you to your execution just because you crossed the border and generally I join the Stormcloaks. I don't agree with the racism but even if you're another race they'll still let you join. I also found the Imperials a little racist sometimes when Tullius and Rikke are talking. The Empire died with Martin Septim. There's no Septim bloodline left so the Empire isn't the one in Oblivion, sadly. But's that's why I joined the Dark Brotherhood >:)
