When a player joins during the round they have no idea what the family needs, they just choose a race at random. Once they are in the family and see whats needed they can change their race with the mods blessing.
At BoR the family all can discuss what they want and choose the race they want, typically well before the round starts. The only reason you'd have the wrong race chosen when the round starts is because you were messing around or trying to use the pop growth of pre-made races. Failure to have the correct race selected is the players fault in this case.
Perhaps next time you won't mess around and not choose the correct race Lee. If you had chosen the correct race before last night you wouldn't be having an issue.
