Dwarf 22 - I don't actually dislike dwarves, but nothing is really begging for my downvote.
Elf 23
Gnome 14
Half-elf 22
Half-Orc 8
Halfling 14
Human 20 - Y'all killed off the tiefling, so now humans get my vote. You were warned.
 

You know ive been thinking about it and ive decided what race really BUGS me the most. I dont even dislike them the most. But the AMOUNT that they bug me outclasses anything i can say negatively about the rest of the races.

The following will sound sexist if you dont read my reasoning so do you and myself a favor and read the whole thing before calling out 6 letter words.

The things that bug me the most in order least to greatest about gnomes are as follows:

1. Eladrin exist. I think gnomes and their counterparts should instead exist. Just as the mad scientist who dreamt them up intended.

2. All gnomes should be elementals or half elementals and should be tied to earth. Their counterparts should be tied to the three other elements that are part of their whole original story.

3. All gnomes should be old wizened perverted little men and should be born old. Never female. The counterparts should be the opposite of these qualities including sex.

4. Paracelsus. I love paracelsus. It is a crime that paracelsus is not a god of the gnomes. He did invent them in real life after all. He literally invented the word "gnome".

Gnomes entirely can be traced back to paracelsus' writings. One of the most signifficant scientists in the history if the world. Also one of the most signifficant nutjobs. Perfect gnomish deity. But in all seriousness cross check what ive said about gnomes with his writings on them. You will find that female gnomes are honstly just really out of place because gbomes arent supposed to reproduce with gnomes. Due to alchemic philosophy it was though they reproduce with any one of 3 types of elementals. Plus it disappoints me that gnomes arent earth elementals and that they arent complimented wth 3 other races as paracelsus envisioned (probably while high as a kite)

Gnomes are, have always been, and will always be, greedy dwarves with pointy noses. So I just assume that anyone who is trying to upvote the gnome is actually trying to upvote the dwarf and just got really confused.

Because otherwise, I have to accept that people here are somehow voting for the Keebler Elf on purpose, as if they looked through this this list of interesting racial options and said "hey look, another high-charisma option, just what the game needed! And look, this one is a lame almost-pixie! Perfect!!" And I know that can't be right.

Nope Dragonborn have already been eliminated.
Exactly my point.

Gnomes don't have a charisma boost.

And, dwarves are the greedy ones.

You're just objectively wrong on every possible level. :D

I'll admit, I was grasping at straws to think of any reason--any at all--as to why someone would think the gnome was a good option. You can see how much difficulty I was having. Perhaps some people merely assumed that gnomes had a high charisma, only to be disappointed later--the first of many disappointments.
