CMV: the stormcloaks are the better side to choose in the Skyrim civil war

The main argument against the stormcloaks is that they are racist, but I don’t think that the entire rebellion is racist. Ulfrik stormcloak and the people of Windhelm are largely racist, but not the whole rebellion.

Every place in Skyrim has racism, but the cities under stormcloak control don’t have any less racism than the imperial cities. Not only this, but the empire doesn’t care about the racism and, after the events of Skyrim, wouldn’t do anything to stop it. 

The stormcloaks are also the best choice for Skyrim to be independent of the Aldmeri Dominion. The empire is falling apart. At the time of Skyrim the empire is just Cyrodiil, Skyrim, and Morrowind.  The empire is falling into chaos with the death of the emperor (dark brotherhood quest line) and Skyrim needs to get away from the empire as soon as possible.

The Empire and all other non Aldmer realms face a huge threat in the Aldmeri Dominion and the only way to face such a threat is with unity. The Empire barely survived the previous war with the Dominion how is Skyrim going to survive the Aldmeri onslaught going at it alone?
