It's rather easy to fit in dragonborn and tieflings (the two most mentioned races from the PHB), since Ravenloft has stuff from everything (Lord Soth from Dragonlance is in it). Of course, the CoS adventure was basically just Barovia and didn't include all the other demiplanes within the Mists.
I didn't think a race like the aarakocra, dragonborn, or even a tiefling were good fits for the setting even if their presence could be justified. Putting them in Ravenloft just reinforces my belief that race really doesn't matter a whole lot in D&D. Heck, the inclusion of orcs in the second Ravenloft module, The House on Gryphon Hill, felt out of place to me.
