The setting is what you make it, even in published settings. If you mean that players tend to feel entitled to playing a monstrous race because it is in the rules, then yeah that can be annoying. Unless the default setting is Golarion and you play in Cheliax...I don't do generally aggressive races. I do generally aggressive cultures. The halflings may be the friendly hobbits where you grew up, but the ones over the mountains hate strangers and shoot first and ask later. And yeah, they do dark rituals and may steal your blood. I disagree about not making sure to portray every race as possibly benevolent, especially as I play with kids a lot and need to make sure that in general, the way you look does not equal the way you are treated. The way you behave does. This does not mean there are no places where prejudice is not abundant. But there also need to be places where this is not the case. Tieflings are, in our worlds, by definition distrusted thanks to their infernal heritage. Of recently,  those who redeem themselves lose the devilish features and abilities after a while. Was not my idea but I like it.</blockquote>
