Tengu. Anthropomorphic bird people with Asian flavor?? HELL YEAH.
Gnomes. I love the Fey aspect that Paizo brought to them, so that they aren't reskinned tinier dwarves.
Kobolds. I love Dragons, and these little lizard people want to be dragons so bad. Crafty, creepy little sneaky buggers, tons of fun. Also, dat art doe!

1) Half elf--I think the "not quite" aspect of half races would be a lot like having Aspergers or adhd, so can I relate to the difficulties it might be like to grow up a half elf. Yes, I get that the other "others" (tiefling, Aasimar, half orc etc) also have these difficulties but the half elf conversations on the old 3.5 boards (I hated the enforced social skills trope of 3.5 with a passion I now reserve for the unchained summoner for the same reason; pigeon holing) made have to think about what it would be like to to be a "half" and so they have a special place in my heart and is the race I find myself coming back to.
2) Human-- It's easy to let race fill in for characterization. With human, that temptation is less "there".
3) Changeling-- As a kid I always thought it was unfortunate I didn't live in an age where there were Indian tribes that kidnapped and adopted kids. This reminds me of that trope in reverse where the kid is a cuckoo. But the same choosing of where you belong is central to this race that many rl people faced is here, which I think is cool. I need this boon for pfs.
Honorable mentions--Aasimar, Tiefling, half orc.

Wait, how do you have a nonsleeping tiefling? I want one!
It's a variant tiefling ability. #12

1: Human
2: Halfling
3: Dwarf
The other two are distant, though. I almost exclusively play humans. I like to think that theres only a certain number of key characteristics one can roleplay with any sense of focus. With humans operating as a sort of neutral default, I think its easier to convey concepts without worry about applying it through the lens and perspectives of a certain race.

Halfling
Halfling
Halfling
Halfling's are the master race! They even have the best prestige classes and class archetypes!
Wait you mean I have to give 3 different ones? Fine...
Halflings
Humans (The human only feats are ridiculously good)
Goblins (+21 stealth at level 1? Crazy feats only fitting a goblin? Feral Gnasher? SOLD!)
Honorable mention for two others I would want to play but only for some very specific concepts, Kitsunes (a fighter which takes only the tail feats as non combat feats, or a fox vexer) and Kobolds (divine flavored DD)

Android: Love science fantasy, some nice immunities, and nanite surge is nice.
Skinwalker: Shapeshifting is fun, lots of subraces give some nice flexibility, nice bestial flavor, cool racial feats.
Tiefling: Again, love the subraces which give lots of versatility, fun racial feats, and I love the sheer variety of evil outsiders that might influence the appearance of a tiefling, making them monstrous, exotic, or just slightly off.
Honorable mention goes to gathlain, ghoran, kitsune, lashunta, nagaji, tengu, and vishkanya.

Half-orcs. Really, I like half-orcs enough to fill up an entire favorites list with that alone. But, playing along...
Aasimar
Tieflings
Honorable mention to half-elves and sylphs. And changelings sound cool and I want to play one sometime.
(Yeah, this is a thing of mine. I have a massive chip on my shoulder and like playing characters I identify with easily. :P Pretty much what Kerney said.)

It changes with my mood, but this second it's;
1) Human (so versatile!)
2) Aquatic Elf (the most common race I played in 2nd edition AD&D)
3) Eberron's Changelings (I love shapechangers)
Other favorites include 0 HD versions of Gnolls and Lizardfolk, and other oddball races like the new Reptoids, or Eberron's Daelkyr Halfbloods, or Tengu.
