Maybe you'll get a chance someday. I think they'd like it.
[Mando clearly comes from a more egalitarian world, where different species and races are more or less accepted. He also has the privilege of strutting around being a Mandalorian, and only the very, very confident ever try to mess with Mandalorians.]
[Would being a human be easier sometimes? Probably yeah. Humans have to deal with a lot less racism. And being such a dominant group in his world, the world is, quite literally, made for them. They don't have to scramble to get on a chair, or use a step-stool to reach the sink.
But despite that, Riz doesn't want to be a human. Whatever bigoted thoughts people might have about goblins, he likes being a goblin. He likes having claws and fangs and a tail. He likes looking like his parents. He likes being him.]
It's just-- It doesn't feel right, you know? If I look in a mirror and stuff. It's just not right.
[Not that Riz looks in mirrors a lot, not since Baron. But if he catches a glimpse of his reflection here, in a shop window, or from the corner of his eye, it never feels like him. It always just feels like he's looking at someone else.]

I'd feel the same if I ever lost my helmet.
[Foreshadowing!]
I think if something feels right to you, it doesn't need to be questioned. It's just a part of who you are.
