This isn't easy. One of my GMs, unwilling to watch his players play demihumans who act exactly like humans, has outlawed non-human races altogther in favor of a wider range of human ethinicities based on real-world groups. I suppose in his mind it's more acceptable for someone to screw up playing an Italian than to screw up playing a dwarf <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />In any event, I'm in the opposite camp, meaning that I don't expect every character to be portrayed as well as Orlando Bloom's Legolas and John-Rhys Davies' Gimli. As long as players are enjoying their characters and putting effort into their role-playing, I can accept less-than-perfect renditions of non-human cultures.</blockquote>
