Bioware doesn't even try to hide its blatant discrimination against Dwarves. Lets look at the facts here:
Dwarves only get two classes while everyone else gets three classes. Only one Dwarf party member in Origins, non romanceable. Only one Dwarf party member in DA2, non romanceable. Too lazy to make a new dwarf party member for Inquisition, so give you Varric again still non romanceable.
Its not our fault for being short and hairy! Equal rights for Dwarves!
plus the "origin story" for inquisition for the elf and dwarf inquisitor are basically the same, and the human and qunari origin are super descriptive and different.
While I do wish for more Dwarf content and think they've gotten the short stick on many things (harhar), Dwarves have a reason for not being able to be mages so I'm not really upset about that. I don't think Bioware is 'racist' against them since they've actually taken the time to include them in their games... I just believe that unfortunately they know that they're the least popular race, so they cater to the majority of the fans in that respect.
Oghren was the best companion in Origins, same with Varric for Dragon Age 2. It's likely again that Varric will be the best in Inquisition.
They don't need to be LIs. Would I like a female Dwarf LI, sure it would give my Dwarven Warrior someone to love, but it's not needed, romance is such a small part of the game, not every companion needs to be ploughed regularly.
Dwarves also have the best two Origin stories in Origins, they're also the only race that can grow a proper beard, the beards for Humans, are complete garbage, and elves can't even grow facial hair.
Perhaps build an army of dwarves (that don't exist) and storm Bioware headquarters and demand equal rights?
Seems like the only logical solution. While you are there see if you can pick me up any DAI swag. Thanks!
Don't worry. When the Dwarves finally stand up to this discrimination, that will show people you can't get away with this sort of thing.
.....what's that? They're already standing up? Oh, sorry. I didn't notice. 
Because humans and qunari are better.
Rude.
Can't disagree with you on qunari tho.
Oh please. We all know it's a fact that if our team was Varric, Sigrun and Oghren with a dwarf inquisitor (or dwarf warden I GUESS), whatever was plaguing Thedas would leave. Immediately. Without leaving a forwarding address behind.

Absolutely not. Oghren was an intolerable abomination.
That being said, you're totally right about the other stuff - dwarves got the best origin stories in DA:O, and Varric was by far the coolest cast of DA2.
I wouldn't go as far as say BW is racist for not including more dwarves that are fantasy race they created for their fantasy universe. However I think there is some kind of unintrest towards dwarves. But you could also make a comment about human dominance in LI's, companions and overall in the game. So I don't think it's just dwarves who get short stick. Maybe writers just like writing humans most and dwarves last?
That was inappropriate, dwarf! But what else could be expected from an ignorant, cave-dwelling heathen?
Also the stereotypes! Were a wise and noble people. Stop making us all alcoholics and greedy merchants!
I'm afraid Varric's already getting enough action..
Another joke thread by the OP?
What do you expect when their username is Frogtoad51?

Oghren.

Uh, the only alcoholic we saw was Oghren.... And every merchant in Thedas is greedy, regardless of race.

We all know Varric's a dwarf's dwarf.
