It's funny cause I think hardcore gamers heart their own race hate the other twos..
I became my SC2 career using protoss and sticked with them for a pretty long time (from beta to GSL season 2) but then.. I saw MarineKing.Prime and I fell in love. I have a man crush on that guy.
I fell in love with the aggressive style, costant harass and crazy production off 8 rax on 2 base etc.etc. and started playing T.
At first it was really weird because I was really used to P but then I fell in love when I started winning. It's going really well since then and now I am pretty high in Masters with T.. I considered switching to another race but tbh Z is just way too much to "re-learn" for me, it's like... Starting all over. I made a second account where I tried Z and P and with Z it went pretty bad (like high-ish diamond at max) with P I actually manage to play in the master's league with no particular effort which makes me think that P is the "easiest" race to play (not talking about balance.. but macro/micro wise)... but.. my insane HATE for the other 2 races prevents me from switching over to P or Z now.
Every time I play I hate with all my heart the colossi, the HT, the stupid blink stalkers going around... etc. same when I got muta harassed... or when they try to bane all in me etc. I feel i wanna keep destroying the other races with terran.
Nerd pride !

Lolol same thing happened to me when I started watching MKP's style of play. I embraced my inner hyper aggressive terran, and procedeed to rick roll match after match of quick 8 minute stim push games and aggressive Bio builds.
But to the OP, Terran is what I played in SC1, and is what I can relate to on an aesthetic and skill level.

In BW, I started with Terran since they were the most analogous to races featured in other RTS games, especially Age of Empires and even Command and Conquer to a small degree. Protoss became my off-race in BW due to their easy-to-learn playstyle and mechanics. I still have no clue about how to play Zerg in BW.
In SC2, my main race initially started out as Protoss due to my perceived notion that Protoss builds are very predictable and formulaic. However, Protoss became a bit too formulaic and stale for me, so I switched to Random to experience the other races.
Ironically, my Zerg play in SC2 is my forte, followed by my old race the Protoss, then by ironically Terran. I found it funny to see my comfort with the races do a complete switch between BW and SC2.

Mantoss and psionic storm,
[oops]Reach / Nony / Bisu
|
I wanted to experience all of StarCraft, no just 1/3 of it, so I chose random.
|
I started to play zerg because it was the most interesting too me, but I hit a plateau got frustrated and switched to brotoss.
|
yep thats exactly how I feel, i play random because if i choose a race, I will be missing 2/3 of the game =)
|
I play Zerg and Terran, I do not know why but I can not win with protoss so I do not play them. I am probably better at Terran than Zerg but Zerg is more fun so they take up most of my games.
|
I played ZvT ZvP and TvZ in BW, and since it's kinda hard to do that on ladder in SC2, I just decided to stick with zerg since they're by far the coolest race in the game. 
Edited for spelling.

Protoss. Cause you play Brotoss when you're a boss. When you're a toss you can't be at a loss. And protoss units have mad gloss.
Sorry, I think of those things and have to say them no matter how lame they are.
But on a serious note, I play protoss because I love the lore developed with them in SC1. Fenix, Tassadar, Zeratul, and Artanis are so awesome that I feel the need to stand by my favorite characters.
En Taro Starcraft.

I play protoss since its what I played in BW. I tried out terran and zerg but it just doesn't feel right to me
|
I actually have no idea what race I'm playing, haha. During the beta I played Terran, but after release, I switched to Zerg because I hated TvT, but now after playing zerg for so long, Terran just looks so much more appealing. I really feel like Blizzard got Terran more right with WoL than either Zerg or Toss, making it feel satisfying for a win, and losses hurt as well.
I'm seriously contemplating just switching back to Terran, just because they feel so much more.... Comfortable, haha. Playing Zerg feels like I'm trying to fuck around with those crazy finger traps while playing, whilst Terran is just smooth and fun.
Only downside is everybody and their mother is playing Terran nowadays, and I still think I hate TvT

Warping in stuff looks badass!
And i played a little bit toss in SC1.
|
When I started in BW, my micro was terrible, and I found it easiest to win just by playing protoss and a-moving massive numbers of gateway units. My friends all had much better micro, but i was the only one who actually knew how to spend my money, and I usually rolled them with my incredibly cost-ineffective attacks.
My love of protoss has extended into sc2, although the reason i started is kinda gone, considering toss is actually somewhat micro intensive now.

I'm playing zerg because even though I played random for several years for Starcraft 1, I ended up going with zerg for the last while.
I feel like I made a terrible mistake though, blizzard nerfing zerg 100 times over, and not buffing them properly or enough. Not only that, they just designed the race poorly overall even
Overall I'm not happy with playing zerg. I chose zerg in SC1 mostly because of it's macro mechanic , which allows for a bit more flexibility, and less macro APM due to building hokeys. Another reason is that zerg had good control over the game and various skillful and viable opening builds and strategies.
In Starcraft 2 zerg is just a reactive race that can't even react due to scouting fail. They have no good offensive build orders really. Every single unit aside from the roach (which is now underpowered) and Brood Lord is pretty damn bland in some way (infestor has/had potential if it wasn't for it's POS abilities other than fungal). Almost all of their abilities are trashy via unoriginality or underpoweredness, and have the least special abilities overall as well.

I love being OP. But what race do I play? :D
|
Protoss. I feed off zerg tears. That and I get a big banana grin when I mass storm a bioball or roach hydra or just roll over an army with a colossus ball and the front line dies to splash before it can attack.
|
random, because it's more interesting that way
|
I play terran because, well, i just always have. I played terran in BW (even though i super sucked at it) and just continued that in SC2. Thinking of maybe trying some different races though, as i never even gave them any chance...
|
Zerg because i like seeing the entire map
