I disagree with the idea of any race being an "auto-win" or a massive handicap. Every race can win, and things like galaxy position, objective distribution, and even action and political cards can make as much a difference as race. For sure there are stronger races than others, but they should get the short end of the stick in galaxy creation, which is a brilliant self-balancing mechanic in the game.
All else being equal, Yssaril Tribes are the best race in the game, but nothing's ever equal in TI. The discussion over race tiers is more academic than you would think.

Ehhhh...if all those random factors are equally random to everyone, wouldn't all else be equal?
They AREN'T all equally random; players control galaxy construction and what political cards are advanced, and they should be leveraged to compensate for racial differences.
This is true, some are more equally random than others...
