Not everyone plays Lalafell as quick-witted or even smart, though! Automatically placing made-up stats on a character because of their race is akin to god-modding, to me. If I play a Roegadyn (and I do!), I should be free to make her weak but smart. People would buy that, despite her size. Same exact reaction if I play a highlander. People would more than likely find the dichotomy interesting!
Assuming personality traits to be automatically true about a character based on race in any context besides in-character is just... really, really bad!
