From the rules (http://www.wizards.com/d20/files/v35/MonstersK-L.rtf):
"“Lich” is an acquired template that can be added to any humanoid creature"

I expect its because human and elf liches are so much more common.

Not that Humans and elfs are so much more common, I've personally never seen a Lich mentioned before that wasn't a Human, Elf, Illithid, or Sarruak (one race from serpent kingdoms)

Then you need to look at Libris Mortis. It has a ton of different liches, including two lich bards and The Weakest Lich Ever, a lich goblin adept.

True, the goblin adept lich was rather amusing to read over. Incidentally, it also proves that while you need to have 11 caster levels to be a lich, there aren't actually any high level spell requirements. The template in the MM doesn't say that one need to cast certain spells but what I've seen on these boards is that many people assume that one does.

I've also heard of a stone giant lich, he's the king of an underground kingdom of giants. For those who have it, he's in the back of the Underdark book, just flip through the Underdark locations section.
