When I started game as a drow I was pleasantly surprised how many racial dialogue options I had in act 1 and even 2, but unfortunately all of it is non existent in act 3. I don't think drows and duergars are common sight for Baldurians. Why no one cares about exclusively rare race Like Githyanki? Fists should be alerted,even forbidding entrance in certain zones , citizens should express hate or fear.
Please add more dialogue variety for certain races, it would make game much more immersive and easier to RP.

+1 to this, totally agree! Drow and especially Gith are an uncommon sight in Baldur's Gate, why no reaction or chance for your character to respond to the BG citizen's almost overindulgent way of life by having a extra lines that express that? The race feels nearly pointless at that point.

No guard would let drow roam in city undisguised like that, it's most unrealistic . And gith are supposed to be alien and menacing for most faerunians but apparently no one cares

Problem is that Larian apparently decided to not lock out people of content because of their choices, so no matter how much sense it would make drow and gith will face no restrictions at all in act3 apart from meaningless one-liner before the regular dialogue starts again.

Well, it's bad decision then. For example drow is OP in act 1, why not balance it in act 3 and make some interactions difficult for them. Force to use disguise spells, charisma checks and so on.

That would be great. If I can walk into goblin camp and everyone is ready to kiss my feet, make me have a difficult time among city people.

Easily sidestepped by initiating dialogue with a different character.

Despite touting reactivity as big selling point BG3 is designed from the ground up to hinder reactivity.

Sure, but I'm talking about role playing. I picked drow for a reason, Tav is already pretty bland compared to origin characters, at least give us some unique racial dialogue to feel more "special".
