Have you guys noticed that it seems like some books force races into certain classes? Like how halflings seem to not be anything else but rogues? Or how all half-orcs are fighter and barbarian? Or all monks are human? According to Races of Stone, it's hard for dwarves to be monks because of a Charisma penalty. Wait, monks never use Charisma. Or how elf fighters should "stay as far away from melee as possible" because of their Constitution penalty. Doesn't all of this sound wrong?

That is rue. but, the game could be even more racist. I mean, the BLACK dragon could have line of Fried chicken for its breath weapon. the RED could live in a teepee and have cone of tomahawks for its breath weapon. same with the WHITE Dragon. it could dwell in the suburbs and have a cone of not being able to dance for a weapon.
In conclusion. yes, it is bad but it could be worse.
