Eh, that's not really fair. Your real life race isn't exactly something you can pick and choose, but you can in a video game. The lack of racial diversity is a bit frustrating, because a lot of roleplayers are going to lose out on a good deal of cultural diversity in their roleplay - even with the range of backgrounds (from tribal to hermit to cosmopolitan to whatever) you can give a miqo'te.
So yeah, racial diversity definitely can and does affect one's roleplay - potentially in a negative way - so while of course it's important to pick whatever makes one happy, it also means that concerns like "There are way too many of Race X" are valid should one want to take them into account when making a decision.
