In my games I've always treated the various metatypes exactly like humans,
just with a few minor differences. After all the Meta's have only been
around for 50 or so years. There will of course be differences, but I've
always felt that these were due more to predjudice than to "the way a Dwarf
acts". Of course an Ork will generally have a chip on his shoulder if he's
normaly treated like crap.
