Also here are a couple other things to consider. Welcome to Flavor Country.
If you are Demi Human you will be regarded as slave class by most Humans. If you are Half Human you will be regarded as an animal.
Every 100 or so years a edict is issued by the Empire of Faith to hunt down and 'cleanse' any half breeds. Half Humans are considered a scar on the face of humanity by the Empire. This is the 76th year since the 25th cleansing. Money is customarily offered for the ears of halfbreeds.
All races who did not submit to the rule of the Empire where summarily annihilated. Hence the absence of Gnomes (this includes gnome titans and gnomelings). Elves where driven almost to the point of extinction on the continent before they surrendered. Drow are unheard of.
The only port cities are fully in Human control. Citizens of other nations from overseas are not allowed to step foot outside of these cities. And Demi Humans are forbidden to live near them and often even denied entrance into them. Halflings are the exception.
Demi Humans are not permitted to carry weapons of any kind by law. Many still possess them but keep them hidden. There are a few exceptions to this law that you may encounter later.
Roads are patrolled regularly by Troops. Demi Humans are not permitted to travel unless granted permission by the Empire of Faith.
Reading is also against the law for Demi Humans. There are again exceptions to this. Like Elven Scribes in the service of the Empire.
As stated previously magic is outlawed. Practitioners of any magic except clerics of The One will be summarily executed if discovered.

No that would be no fun =P.
You can still be gnome races and drow too, it's just no ones ever seen a drow or a gnome in over 700 years.
ps. exceptions are those in service of other humans. demi humans may bear weapons if 'owned' by a human and commanded to do such. They may also travel with them.

Seeing as your a Human already anyone who rolls a Demi Human can feign to be in your service when questioned.

Hehe I'll go easy on you in the beginning. You won't necissarily be anyones bitch. I am going to start you in a sparsely humany place. Most of these laws are only heavily enforced in Luthern anyway.
It's a Lawful Evil Government. Not everyones going to share the same views as it.

Bah let me put it this way. Most people will treat you fairly. There are more good people than evil, It's just the evil ones run things.

So long as you didn't name your character The Juggernaut, we'll probably be okay.
