How to choose race in World of Warcraft?

Question

Right after launching World of Warcraft for the first time I have to create a new character, when choosing a race, how are they different and what criteria should I use?

Answer

Here is a good answer

Choose a race.

• Before choosing, think of the benefits and disadvantages of the races you choose. For example, Tauren has War Stomp, which is a good stun for Warriors, and +5% health, which is also good for Warriors. Because of this, most Tauren players to Warrior, Death Knight or Feral Druid. However, with the case of Night Elves, Stealth is a kind of disadvantage, since it overlaps with rogue and panther(feral druid) abilities. Therefore, it can be seen as "wasted". Search on Google if you want further information.

• It's usually better to decide first on a faction, then on a class, and last on a race; but it's not necessary. Be aware, however, that
  not all classes are available for each race. An example of this is
  the Druid class. Only Night Elves or Worgen (Alliance faction) and Tauren or Trolls (Horde faction) are able to be Druid class. If you have already
  decided to play for the Horde as a Druid, you have no other options
  but to play a Tauren/Troll. Draenei and Dwarves are the only Alliance race that can
  play as Shamans, and Blood Elves and Tauren are the only Horde race that can
  play as Paladins. If you decide on a race before you decide on a
  class, understand that your options may be limited.

• Consider how would you feel playing a certain race. Remember that you will spend months and maybe years watching your character from his or her back, so keep that in mind when picking a race. For example, you may find Gnomes' movements and voice a little annoying, Undead characters' bones poking though their armor a little disturbing, or Orcs' roughness a little unpleasant.
