The idea of a Qunari who had never been introduced to the Qun is absurd.
Why?
And a mage inquisitior is unlikely too because magic must serve men, not rule them.
Loosely interpreted obviously since their can be a mage on the Sunburst Throne at the end of the game.
Human Warrior
You were in training to become a Templar (and can later complete that training, if you choose) and as a noble you were raised to rule. Stepping into the role of Inquisitor seamlessly makes the most sense with that background.
Off topic question: I'm a sucker for all the little touches the background/races get you and I've been eyeing a human mage and I'm wondering how they'd compare to my Qunari mage playthrough. For instance do you get to express resentment towards your family cuz they're so religious and you're a mage and you must be like the dirty little secret of the family? Do you get extra options with Viv or Fiona or Cullen? Do people make 'ew, mage' comments instead of 'ew, Qunari/elf' comments?

Yeah, the NPC comments are mage specific. As for family, it's as flexible as playing a human noble and how you relate to them.. You were still allowed to visit them, if you wished. Yeah, you get a cool convo with Viv, where you can talk about a mutual friend (it really helped me build a whole backstory from it). Not sure about Fiona. I never recruit her. She introduces herself in Orlais though, recognizing you're a mage. If I recall.
Anyways.. agreed with most here. Human mage. I don't mind the noble either.. Their age range just feels less flexible to me (the mage is more open ended there).

Yes you get a few "ew a mage" comment from people .

Why why? Because it is absurd. I don't even have to explain why is it absurd.
Yeah but the end of the game doesn't change the general ideas of the beginning. We are not in Tevinter so if I were a Fereldan peasant I wouldn't respect and support a mage inquisitor until the attack on Haven.

People are iffy before that point anyways. You're just an agent, not the Inquisitor.. it's the Herald thing they focus on. Some think it absurd (Orlais especially considers it blasphemous), and some smaller NPCs wonder if it it'll take a mage to fix magic problems, after all. And mind you, while you're asleep in the beginning of Haven, the codex says that people come in and try to assassinate you. So there's no real consensus.

Oh. Okay.
For me, it's Dalish Rift Mage. Female, too. The implications for the story, the connection to the rift magic, using the magic at all - it all makes much more sense in my head.
That, and human avatars are too bulky in those pajamas. 
Every class works, though mages have drawbacks in terms of trust. As for races, it's still obvious that the whole thing was originally written for a human protagonist. Elf works, but no small part of what makes it work is "romance"-gated and that really ticks me off. Dwarves and qunari were a waste of resources, in my not so humble opinion, because they have no connection to the story at all and should cause way more of a stir.
My own preferences is human warrior, sword & board champion. While I don't like humanocentrism, I dislike feeling like a game treats me as a human anyway even more, and being closely tied to the story as a devout if troubled and increasingly open-minded Andrastian is a blast. Warrior because I'm a melee gal at heart and love tanking -- being the first in and the last out, the one who draws the line in the sand, yells "You! Shall not! Pass!" and shields her friends with her own life is just unmatched in epic heroism. That aside, I also like the idea of a "mere mundane", a "pathetic sleeper" being the one to rise up against all the chaos and evil unleashed by various supernatural badguys. Frustrating enemies who thought themselves to be oh-so-superior because of their magic lends an extra air of satisfaction to kicking the crap out of them. 
Human mage, of course. At least this race&class combo has a legitimate reason to be at the Conclave, being a Circle mage. Others feel shoehorned. Being a human also feels more sensible storywise overall, as it feels centered on human world problems.
I think the race that make most sense should be human. The conclave was held/organized by the Chantry. It feels more related for a human to attend, mage or no-mage. Then, you have the face the templar vs mage thing, which is also the effect of human system. It is until the very last moments of the game that the lore focus on elven history. Despite that, many main area quests in exalted plain etc. is human related.
Whichever you prefer.
Me being biased, I say Rogue. That way you can pull s*** like this:
Represent!
I prefer playing as a mage, but the one that makes the most "sense" is probably plain old sword and shield warrior. At least in terms of who I believe the advisors would actually pick if given a choice.
However, in terms of overall "power" and the ability to stand up to ancient magic, dragons, and the might of an army all on your own? Mage is the only class that has EVER made sense to me. In every game.
Hitting someone with your sword is all well and good, but a mage can make fire tornadoes and vomit bees at people.
Elf Mage. Makes the most sense story wise with the Fade, Elven Gods and visiting the Dales.
I think a Dalish Warrior Warden who sacrified himself.
Female Hawke Mage, who was symbol for mages who rebelled.
Male Human / Female Dwarven Rogue Inquisitor = As a Spy, Assassin, Thief, Infiltrator. For me that's what make more sense as the Inquisitor.
Like a human mage from the circle is already a rebel mage, it doesn't make sense to be sent to the Conclave.
A dalish mage has no say in a place where human deals are united.

Everyone is a rebel, whether they like it or not. The whole system fell apart. The templars are rebels too. Yet you see hundreds of templars and circle mages marching to the Temple in the Start screen. They want an end to it.
Ostwick had a rebellion, but you have different ways to talk about it. Your own mother figure/mentor was killed by one of her students. You can react to that in different ways. Whether you're sad about it or didn't care for her much.
In any case, you and your first enchanter got out, but they send you to the Conclave to help put an end to all the madness. This fits the story perfectly.

This.
Though I like elven mage as well.
Elf mage, there are a lot of stuff about elves, their gods, future of elves etc... and being a mage makes the most sense out of it. A female elf mage romancing Solas pretty much overshadows everything else.
Human mage is easily 2nd.

Human Mage
Elf
Human Rogue/Warrior
Dwarf (if Brother Burkel started a Chantry in Orzammar)
Qunari
In that order from most sense to least sense. If the expansions/DLC takes a trip to Kal-Sharok Dwarves might get more love.

Elves only become relevant in the final stretch. Up until that it's Andraste this and the Maker that. Female Elf might make for the most dramatic story, but doesn't make more sense than Human Mage.

I don't see how you can pin all elf classes over human warrior/rogue. Elf mage maybe, but the mundane classes?

I get the feeling that the dream game for elves will be the next one.
