Just to break my silence on the topic and chime in, I don't see an issue with it. Many players choose their character's race based upon aesthetics first and foremost, so it stands to reason. Could it be seen as a bit of a copout? Perhaps, but it is what it is: simple player preference. Even if we have several claiming to be Ishgardian dragoons who happen to be of "X non-standard race," they're still a minority in the grand scheme of things and as long as that's acknowledged via RP with that character, then I don't personally think the "flavor" of the nationality is in any danger of being diluted.
tl;dr - It's how you present yourself that counts, more so than race.
That being said, if any of you do decide to roll up an Ishgardian elezen in your hype for Heavensward, I will welcome you with ears wide opaaaahn-uh.
