Dwarves are ashkenazim. My dude JRR Tolkien literally wrote in his letters "the dwarves are jews. I based their language on hebrew. They love gold and hiding away from regular society, because they are the jews."

Wagner’s dwarves in the Ring are also Jews. But you can see why people wouldn’t want to bring the hoariest of antisemitic stereotypes into their games, hence Scots, I guess? That doesn’t make sense to me either, so my dwarves are modeled on another stoic northern people: good hearted, a little laconic, who hide more than they show. They are, of course, Minnesotans.
