I know any race can be anything etc but as general specialisation of a race as reflecting to the typical culture and society of their homeland & families.

Elves have orcs who are full all out warrior. Man has Nords who perform in a similar role.

Elves have Altmer who are all out mages. Man has Bretons.

Elves have Dunmer who are all rounder. Man has Imperials.

Elves have Bosmer who are agile archers. Man has ...?

Have Bethesda made it so Redguards are now the light athletic and agile archer race. They have Alteration (no armor) making them light and agile (no weight of armor) and they are the only race of man to get archery. The Alik'r are assassins in assassins.

What do you think?

Type casting is never a good thing, but if we want to go by just stats I see them as the Jack of Trades like the Dunmer. Not as much as them but they have a good start for being mage or warrior right off the bat. Will be interesting to see what people that have to say about this one way or another.

I don't think bethesda designed races with balancing out the ratio of mage/archer/warriors between the mer and the men.
