So unlike FFXI, FFXIV allows players to allocate (and reallocate) their own stat points with each physical level. This means that ultimately, your race does not give preference to any particular job type as it did in the past. That's right, it's only for looks :) However, there are very different starting stats for each race and clan. Here is a chart that ranks each starting race's stats:

While the game allows you to allocate Stats it doesn't allow you to alter your Melee and Magic rankings, Unless they are tied directly to your primary stats. So to be safe i would go either dirka dirka errr Dunesfolk Lalafell or Keeper of the moon Miqote.

That ranking is tied directly to your stats. MND affects your MP pool and magic def, INT is magic atk, PIE is magic acc. So the higher those three stats are, they higher your magic ranking. Once you get past the first 5 levels or so, your stats will be customized to your liking. Oh and Wildwood Elezen for me all the way :P I posted this as a hypothetical for people unsure of which race to choose. The moral of the story is this: choose a race you like and one you think looks cool. Stats won't matter after the first few days of leveling :)
