Removing racial ability stat bonuses (or minuses in old systems) is racist, and anti roleplying. Dwarves ate naturally healthier than other races but not as friendly. Elves are agile but not as hardy. Half ircs are strong but dumb. It is racist to erase a race's actually being because people get TRIGGERED by real life silliness. A dwarf, orc, or ekf ate not human. They ate innately different races/species. The variant stats ate game mechanics to illustrate. To disagree us racism. Period.
You are playing an individual member of a race. In general Half-Orcs may be strong and dumb but an individual Half-Orc can be anything. They could be smart or stealthy or wise. That is just variation in a species.
You are playing a rare individual. In 5e a 10 is considered an average score, which means Joe/Jane Average of any species is a 12 point buy. Our character is a staggering 27 point buy so the tendencies of their respective races are irrelevant to our heroic individuals.
