I am assuming that you mean the basic races, as in the Player's Handbook 1 races. There are many other sources for races, such as the Player's Handbook 2, PHB 3, Forgotten Realms... Today, we will simply be focusing on the dragonborn, the dwarf, the eladrin, the elf, the half-elf, the halfling, the human, and finally, the tiefling.
Dragonborn are a race that hold honor above all. They are particularly good at playing the warlord, fighter, and paladin classes, due to their natural bonuses to Strength and Charisma.
Dwarves are very durable and tough. Their bonuses to Constitution and Wisdom make them good at playing the paladin, cleric, and fighter classes.
Eladrin always seem to be detached from the world, pondering questions that have to do with their home realm, the Feywild. They always get bonuses to Dexterity and Intelligence. Eladrin prefer to be one of the wizard, rogue, and warlord classes.
You may have heard of Elves before, but these elves are tall and graceful. Obviously, they get a bonus to Dexterity, and also Wisdom. When being an elf, think about playing a ranger, rogue, or cleric.
A Half-Elf is created when a human and an elf have a child. They are excellent diplomats. With great Constitution and Charisma, they excel at being warlords, paladins, and warlocks.
Halflings are like humans, but a LOT smaller, and a LOT trickier. They favor the rogue, ranger, and warlock classes due to their above-average Dexterity and Charisma.
Humans. My personal favorite. (maybe because I AM one in real life...) In Dungeons & Dragons, they can be adapted to any class. Their ability score bonus is set by you.
When an empire of humans made a dangerous pact with devils, the tieflings were created. They get bonuses to Charisma and Intelligence, which makes them good at the classes of warlock, warlord, and rogue.
You need the Player's Handbook in order to see the other features of these races. I hope this helps a bunch!
