For now I've just duplicated the Humans race in Races.xml and changed the RaceId to 21. Loading up the game and my new race shows up, being an exact copy of the Human race as expected. As seen in the screenshot below, I can also change the personality traits (and I can also change the race bonuses, but this is not shown in the screenshot):

To create some distinction between these two races without going through all the effort of creating custom art, I tried changing the race name and description. However, when I touch the race name, the race becomes unselectable in-game, although the updated name is shown, and the changed personality traits, race bonuses and race description are displayed correctly as seen in the screenshot below. Please keep in mind that I have the race selected since the new game dialogue saves the previously selected race and since I selected my custom race before it became unselectable, it is selected now.

Something that is extremely odd though is that when I now change the race name back to Human (which was declared valid by the game), my custom race is still unselectable. To the point where I go back to a fresh slate, duplicate the human race, change the RaceId to 21 and change the race name to anything other than Human, load the game (and the game doesn't allow me to select my race), then close the game and change the race name back to Human (which means my race is now completely identical again to the vanilla Human race), my custom race is still unselectable in-game. Is this a bug?
How do I create a proper custom race using some of the existing art (just to save myself some time while I play around with things)?
