However, I may point out the Thalmor don't want EITHER a unified empire OR an independent Skyrim, because EITHER could lead to their demise. if Ulfric were racist, why does he let my dark elf join his army?

i do not see how an independent skyrim would lead to the Thalmor's demise. rather, i think it would lead to their ruling the world.
