To be fair, it wasn't canon until recently. (I believe, just before the 4e update.)
And gods should be above such petty contrivances as "race" anyway. "Humans call me X, Elves call me Y, either way I get the worship" - seems a much better system to me than having "I'm the god of the human moon, she's the goddess of the elven moon, he's the god of the dwarven moon..."
