I always get annoyed about fantasy's broad sweeping generalizations of race to be the end all be all. "Elves are aloof. Dwarves are stubborn. Period." Shadowrun had an interesting take in that dwarves and orks and shit could come from anybody. There wasn't a collective stereotype so it was at least more believable in that way. Still had plenty of problematic ideas when talking about race in the setting, though...
