Consensus doesn't matter. It's canon that race names aren't capitalized. BioWare says this is how it's done, so that's how we do it. We don't set canon for Mass Effect, BioWare does. If BioWare decides to start capitalizing the names of alien races, great. Then (and only then) we can start doing it too. Bottom line - we follow established canon. I don't care what kind of consensus there is.
