No, you don't have. This story is just a proof of how lies and disinformation can spread trough the Internet. Someone says that the Stormcloaks are nazi, so everyone repeat it without fact checking.
But the truth is that in "nazi" capital Windhelm there are Altmer that owns shops without SA squads breaking everything every week.
Dunmer live in the poor district because they are refugees (yeah, apparently "nazi" Skyrim allows foreign refugees to live in their capital) not because there are ghettos.

Ulfric can be a bad person, but the Empire is the one that allows the Thalmor to act like the Gestapo. But yeah, the Stormcloaks are the bad guys because someone doesn't like their motto and can't distinguish between patriotism and racism.
Nope, patriotism is a good thing. But isn't Skyrim part of the empire? So, real patriots are Imerials. Imperials don't discriminate between Nords, orther humans, Elves, Khajit or Argonians (Orcs are considered an elf race in Elder Scrolls I think).

Also, the Dunmer who has a shop in the capital is treated as a criminal and fence, just because of the colour of his skin. How is that not racist? The drunk guy in front of the inn is bullying any dunmer or non-Nord he sees. The very general of Ulfrick provocks you if you are non-nord, and Ulfrick himself seems to tolerate you just because you are the Dragonborn, and he knows better than offend you.

Ulfrick went and challenged the High King in combat, wile he knew he was not much of a fighter. Then, instead of defeating him fare and square, he used shouts in his already unfairly advantageous possition in combat, to kill the King. If that's not just plain murder, what is? Finally, the Empire could not risk an other War with the Thalmor, as it was still recovering from it's last war, and leaving Ulfrick as the High King of Skyrim would give the Thalmor the excuse it needed to attack, probably leaving no survivors in Skyrim, or enslaving everyone.

So, the only option was a civil war to diminish the casualties, and prevent the Thalmor from attacking.

What you need to remember is that Skyrim is already part of the empire when the events happen. It's not an independent country, rather than a State, with it's own laws, but part of a bigger empire.
