I agree that there isn't much variety with the races. From all the companions that we have, 5 of them are elves although two are half, 3 are human and the other two is a Gythanki and a Tiefling. Larian seems to favor the elves....lol.
I agree. Even If they dislike the small races ( though I do think, Gale would have worked really great as a gnome), they could have sprinkled in the odd dragonborn or halforc, since they seem very fond of those races.
