I feel thats more of your opinion then a statement of fact seeing as the only races in the PHB are dwarf, elf, halfling, human, dragonborn, gnome, half-elf, half-orc, and tiefling but that doesnt mean we should shy ourselfs from other great races we have drow and githyankis you yourself want aasimer and due to D&D streams of critical roll and anime such as Overlord,Goblin Slayer and How i got reincarned into a slime Goblins have one of the fastest rising fan bases I dont think they should be removed or dismissed because you personally dislike them keeping a open mind and not being biased is what makes this community and this company one of the greatest in my opinion
Drow are also a PHB option. However nothing I've said about goblins has been my opinion, yet. My *opinion* about goblins and those that play them is that they're unhealthy for a game. The player wants the NPCs to focus around them, either with them being an oddity or something to always be looking for. It's snowflake-ish, and I greatly despise when a player tries to pull something like that. It can ruin enjoyment for other players.
However, in the Forgotten Realms, goblins are low-level enemies. They are, at their core, something for low-level adventurers to face without recourse. An enemy that no one bats an eye for the loss of. Drow were this, at one point, and have since been written differently. This wasn't an opinion, it was a recollection of D&D's history. There is no precedent for a goblin adventurer in a long, serious campaign.
