Now that the final (planned) race is in the game, I think it's high time we talked about this idea again. I personally still think it sucks for an entire race or sex to all be typecast the exact same way on account of the animations they're stuck with. The devs are doubtless aware of this, or at least feeling the repercussions, you'll notice serious MSQ characters like Y'shtola or Yugiri or Fordola or Sadu and probably others are hardly ever shown emoting because their associated animations do not fit their characters whatsoever.

To their credit, the devs have increasingly been making and using more universal/generic emotes during cutscenes, but occasionally a race-specific one will still slip through and you likely understand how it feels if you're like me and play a female Au Ra despite, and not because of, how cute and meek they've been made to be...
