So we aren't supposed to make racially insensitive remarks on the forums, yet I frequently see posts that are dismissive of halflings and gnomes; portray the worst stereotypes about goblins, orcs, ogres, etc; call certain races underpowered; or, in what can only be described as ethnic cleansing, calls to have them "nerfed".
You should all be ashamed.

Gnomes taste like chicken but with half the calories! I'm just saying.

Ahem. We are not "racist," the correct term is "speciesist" (or should that be "specious?"); halflings, gnomes, and goblins do not appear to be interfertile with humans, and thus should not be considered races of humanity. As for orcs and ogres, well...look over there! It's the Winged Victory of Samothrace!

Preach on, brother! Tell it like it is! Let everybody know!

Gnomes are just plain awful, they deserve undying hatred, this is why I go out of my way as GM to make sure every Gnome PC dies horribly and as soon as possible. This is why when I see one on a lawn I wait til dark to assassinate the little monstrosity. So don't get preachy about gnomes, they don't deserve your defense.

The OP is horrifically hypocritical. It claims offense at racism, yet openly uses the inherently racist term "halfling"? Excuse me, but exactly what is "halfling" half of? The term implies that they are somehow less than what they "should" or "ought" to be.
If "hobbit" is too copywrighty for you, then at least use the non-derogatory term "wholefling".

just remember smudge - elf, ogre, dwarf, troll, giant, and fairy are all on the same family tree; despite what others say.

Goblins do it in the street!
No, that should be "Goblins do it with knives and torches in hand, shrieking insanely while trying to gnaw the flesh from their victims bones and attacking random people in the street."

No, you racist, it shouldn't.
Goblins do it with tender caresses, whispered entreaties and advanced oral techniques in the street!
