We don't know that they aren't actually Garlean. Soooo.
I would say that no single nation is made up entirely of a single race. Just as Ala Mhigo is not just Highlanders or Ishgard is not just Elezen. Likewise we found out that Padjal aren't just Hyur in 2.0.
While Garleans may be predominantly Hyur, we've no evidence to say they're only Hyur. With the current track record of other city-states, even those as far away as Doma and Thavnair, we've seen that these too support more than a single canon race.
