How many races is too many races? At what point does a beast person just become an intelligent monster?

Humanity's ranks hold all the diversity you really need for PCs in a roleplaying game.

Humans. That's really all you need. If you have races besides human, they are the spice, not the main course. No, you do not need a special race of catfolk and a special race of mountain spirit people and a special race of boar faggot people, nor do you need kitsune or kender or honestly even elves or dwarves. Humans work fine. Think about real life where humans have staggering differences in culture to the point where we are barely even the same species but for the fact we can interbreed (keep in mind that it was Jews who defined what constitutes a species, it is a completely arbitrary definition otherwise, and means that elves and humans are technically the same "species"). Use humans. You don't even need elves and halflings and dwarves and orcs, but those are the next best ones to use. Gnomes are superfluous. Hobgoblins and goblins are pretty superfluous as well, as are kobolds. Kobolds and goblins fill the same niche, as do hobs and orcs. Eliminate them. Gnolls are good replacement for orcs anyway, fuck orcs. Have gnolls and orcs at war. Or bugbears and gnolls. that's really all you need though. Honestly elves are superfluous, you have have just dwarves and humans and orcs and gnolls and maybe hobbits. Or not even that. Cut it down even further. You can have other races too, but in small numbers, and don't let players play them. I am so sick of these fucking niggers who think they are allowed to play whatever they want in my campaigns. No, your shitty tengu is not allowed. No, your ratfolk is not allowed. No, your catfolk is not allowed. No, your tiefling is not allowed: that is a literal fucking demonspawn. Why the fuck would that be allowed in any campaign, let alone this one? No, you cannot play a drow. You will be shot on sight on the surface. Half these fuckers don't even read Drizz't so they have no excuse for wanting to play a drow, besides "lol it's different."
Just play a fucking human, goddamn. You are using race as crutch for lack of creativity.

Between 6 and 20.
At more than about 6 races you'll have a really hard time fitting them all in as cohesive parts of your setting with their own niches. But at more than 20 the place is so crowded that "The people in this village are gnomes" is enough gnomes that it feels like they're properly represented.

Depends on how woke your players are. The British Empire treated everyone else like monsters. If your players are really big on the social justice stuff, you might have a hard time making /any/ anthropomorphic thing feel like a monster. Obviously there are in-betweens.
I tend to make the distinction like... do they have a society, or are they just playing society like children play house? Could they all wander off into the forest and live as animals?
