I aint saying the current system is one I am fond of as the council is basicaly 3 species dictatorship (maybe dicatorship isn't the right term) but human dominance isn't any better and having one species dominant above all others is just a recipe for disaster as the other races won't be content to being held down forever.
This isn't true at all. Clearly you haven't thought about this in any great detail.
Human dominance would be better for the other races because it would always be less severe and less total than the dominance of the old Council.
A human Council will be weaker because it will have a smaller economy and military. It will need to appeal to the other races more than the old Council did. The triumvirate that preceeded it could afford to mostly ignore everyone else because it was a union of the three strongest races. In a human Council galaxy the three biggest competitors to it will be able to give it a run for its money, necessitating negotiation.
It is only the asari, salarians, and turians who will really have any stake in wanting to see the human Council toppled. The "lesser" races will have no reason to want to see it taken down because they haven't lost anything and the weaker human Council is more likely to listen to their needs.
The asari are giving up their military obligations to the galaxy, so don't expect any teeth from them. The turians are starting to lose the support of the volus and colonial independence movements are begining to spring up. Once the volus abandon the Hierarchy it will collapse. The salarians have always been natural allies of the humans won't be hard to win over.
The other races WILL be content to play second fiddle forever because they were content to do just that with the old Council. Even if they weren't there isn't anything they could do. The humans nevere attacked them and a war against humanity would not be worth the cost, even in victory.
