Well, the whole race conversation went pretty much exactly in the direction I figured it would. Nothing new to see here.

Just a note though: "Make a new character if you want a <insert race here> character!" is not really a valid argument in these cases. There are dozens if not hundreds of new characters of various races, creeds, orientations, etc... created every year. Very, very, VERY few of them stick. They might be hot for a little while, but after a few years things cool off and suddenly they're wallpaper or cannon fodder in major crossovers and rarely seen elsewhere.
