In D&D race is really species. In reality there is only one species, which is why the claim or more or less charismatic is racism and wrong. We wouldn't be accused of racism for saying dolphins swim faster, because they're another species. We would be accused of racism if we said that a particular race humans could swim faster.You have had some good points in this thread, but this is not one of them.
I equate Tiefling to race because…it’s categorized in the game as a race. It’s not a feat any race can take. I don’t understand what’s difficult to grasp here.
Also your postulate about rare == charismatic is patently false. You cherry picked a few exceptions, but I would argue that in general being an outlier results in being shunned/feared/despised. But if you think otherwise I’m not interested in arguing the point.
It's not the same thing as racism for the tiefling species to have a charisma bonus.
