How does the +AC against specific races work? I could have sworn it all stacks together and it's groovy but I was told otherwise.
Is it possible to use two items that give +AC against a specific race or type of damage together? Do they negatively affect buffs in terms of not stacking together? I know this question has been asked a couple times so my apologies but I couldn't seem to find a relevant thread.

Re: +AC against specific races.
I believe general AC and specific AC will stack. As for specific AC with specific AC of the same type, highest is taken. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Does dwarf vs goblinoid races work vs players?
Re: +AC against specific races.
AC of the same type never stacks, except for dodge ac. Armor, Shield, Deflection, and Natural do not stack with AC of a similar type. AC always takes the higher value when applicable. If I have a helmet that gives +2 Deflection AC and +5 Deflection AC against evil, I receive the +5 when fighting evil enemies and the +2 against anything else.
These work verse players, but Arelith's subraces do not change how the game sees their subtype. For instance, the +1 AB of dwarves vs. Goblins will not apply to player goblins because those goblins actually have the Halfling subtype.

Should work.
