User blog:ScholarOfTheScrolls/Ulfric Stormcloak is NOT a racist.

When arguing with Imperials one of the first things they will bring up is "Ulfric is racist because he keeps the Dunmer in slums and doesn't let the Argonians into his city". I'm here to hopefully put that argument to rest once and for all.

First of all, if Ulfric truly was a racist then why would he let Altmer and Imperials live nice lives within his city and lands? If he really was racist you would think he would be treating the Altmer (Race of which the Aldmeri Dominion is centered around and consists mainly of) and the Imperials (Race of which the Imperial Legion is centered around and consists mainly of) worse than the Dunmer and Argonians. But there are Altmer and Imperials living wonderful lives within his city (For example: Niranye and Viola). This is because unlike the Dunmer in the Grey Quarter they actually contribute (I'l touch on that as this goes on).

Speaking of the Dunmer many Imperials also like to use them being in the Grey Quarter to further their argument. But has no-one noticed Belyn Hlaalu? He's a Dunmer who lives a nice life on a nice farm on Ulfric's land. If he wanted to, Ulfric could take that farm from Belyn with a snap of his fingers. Belyn contributes to the Stormcloak cause in Windhelm. This is proved when he says "The only way to win the Nord's respect is through hard work." Indicating that he is working for the Nords who occupy Windhelm aka the Stormcloaks. He also says "Too many Dunmer complain about the way we're treated. What good does complaining do?" I agree. I don't see those Dunmer in the Grey Quarter doing anything to help out, if they did they would be living a life similar to that of Mr Hlaalu. He helps out the Stormcloaks so he gets to live a nice life. Has anyone also considered that Ulfric is a bit busy with a war and then preparing for a bigger war to spend a large ammount of money on renovating a quarter of a city fileld with people who don't even contribute?

Now moving onto the Argonians.

People condemn Ulfric for keeping the Argonians out of Windhelm. But last time I check Brunwulf free-winter (Whom becomes Jarl should the Legion win) also keeps them out and his reasoning is that "they must remain outside for their own saftey". Has nobody considered that maybe that's why Ulfric keeps them out? It appears not. Nothing changes for the Argonians when the Imperials take over.

Anyway. That's all I have for now. I may return with more Blogs be them arguments or just opinions of mine. I also highly recommend reading Zippertrain85's blogs on the Civil War as well. He has some really strong arguments there.

Talos guide you all.
