There is a bug that the option to skip the tutorial is offered for these 3 races, however as you have discovered this does not work and if tried, will prevent the character from being created at all. This is being fixed in an upcoming patch.
I think once you have played the tutorial for a race once, you should be granted the option to just skip it and enter your starting zone at level 5 with a basic set of armor.
It's long overdue for this option to be built in by default.
Maybe an idea for a VIP perk?
