Almost every race has an OOC stigma attached. My friend gets teased, and subjected to all sorts of BS for playing a Lalafell, and he plays one of the best Lalafell characters I have ever seen. It's like people sit around and have pow-wows about what stigmas to assign to which race.
Au Ra had stigmas assigned to them before they even became playable. I've played a Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te for years with great success, and my Au Ra Xaela has been called a "scale-waifu" more times than I can count, but she is relatively well-liked too.
Half the time, the stigmas are mere jokes. Some people take the stigmas seriously. You don't have to play with those people.
I promise there are more than enough people who will not make their choice to RP with you based on silly racial stigmas.
The personal advice I offer you is learn the lore, practice good writing, always try to improve, make your character with believable strengths and weaknesses and RP cooperatively with others. This will make you and your character loved regardless of their race.
