I suspect nobody talks about the races because there's so little distinction between 'em on an experiential level. Being an elf, dwarf, halfling, etc, doesn't give you access to special areas, weaponry or abilities. You're not specifically targeted for friendship or hatred by anyone else. I'm not complaining, mind you: it was obviously something that would have just spiraled the game's design out of control to put this in.
On the other hand, the professions do play quite differently, and the addition of strongholds only adds to that.

Actually, if you have an Elf or Half-Elf, and go up to the guy near the fountain in Waukeen's Promenade, he'll insult you, call you evil, etc. He's a bigot...
With a halfling, there's a guy in the Temple District who hates Halflings and Dwarves.
