Stormcloaks Or Empire (One Of The Three Certainties Of Life)

[Errorname]

I disagree. I think "massive racism" is your headcanon, you want to see evidence of it, and so the fact that there is no such evidence becomes a writing failure. But I think it makes more sense to adjust your opinion of the Stormcloaks to match the evidence that is there.

There is textual support to argue that the Stormcloaks are not as racist as they are often claimed to be, but also there are a lot of prominent instances where the game says that they are racist. So, no, I do not think "Stormcloaks are racist" is simply headcanon. You can argue that Stormcloak racism is overstated by their enemies, but even in the most charitable reading it is still very real and very much in place.
