I'm having a really hard time deciding what race my first character should be.
I know that there isn't any statistical advantage to one race over another. However, each race seems to have their own playstyle and I'm pretty sure that each race's ships have different advantages/disadvantages.
I am planning for my first character to be a scout/explorer/spy.
So, my question is: What race do you think would be best for this career track? (other than looks and storyline)

The correct answer is none/all
Your character race has absolutely no relevance to the play style you choose and the ships you use. All this is determined through your skills.
As it stands right now, the only reason to pick one race over another is for RP reasons or just aesthetic preference. There really is no race that has any kind of advantage/disadvantage in regards to any kind of game play.

^^^ Actually, its been the opposite for a while now. CCP has had a trend of constantly changing races and bloodlines so that they have less and less of a distinction in regards to gameplay. After RMR came out it was pretty obvious that race actually did have relevance because everyone and their mother suddenly had an Achura alt. Not so any longer.
I don't see CCP changing this policy anytime soon. If you were eluding to Incarna, again that only is for aesthetics, doesn't really have much effect on gameplay.

with this i would prefer amarr because of the slot layout on the anathema but remember u can make any char train that way so just pick any race based on looks and decide which ship ion particular afterwards :P

make a character that looks good and has a decent name, I think minmatar is a good choice cuz you can make spacemens that look like Lenny Kravitz!
after that train whatever you like.

Eh, you guys are giving horrible advice. It is clear that Amarr are the best race, since the Amarr have been entrusted by God to rule over all worlds of the Heavens. That said, some people do prefer to be followers rather than leaders...

Minmatar ships, because of their high-speed, high agility, and small signature, making it easier to escape gate camps.
Of course you don't have to Minmatar to pilot them. My Amarr alt pilots ships captured from the slaves.

With the new character creation system - where you hardly start off with anything but have doubled training speed - it really doesn't make any difference what you pick. So it's all pretty much personal preference.
Even RP is personal preference - for the role you want to play. Read the back stories - decide which one you like best and then start fooling with characters. If you don't find a character from the back story you like - then you can always use one of the others and just be a rogue. Amarr can fight for the Minmatar Militia and vice versa.
When I first started playing and bothered to think about such things I had some ideas about back stories for some of my characters (multiple accounts & characters per account). There were these two Minmatar sisters I made who got involved with a couple of Gallente Characters I had which made their father (another character) mad so he sold them to these Amarr Characters I had.
*shrug*
I thought of that but ... it doesn't really matter. I don't role play and I didn't bother to put it in their bio's.
But - the point is - if you WANTED to Role Play for one side - using another Factions Characters - there's any number of stories you could make up and put in your bio. Then just fly whatever ships you wanted.
When I first started playing - I wanted to understand something about each of the factions and their ships - and back then it mattered much, much more at character creation. So I tried to make a character for each faction and had them fly their ships so that I could become familiar with those ship types. Now ... I don't care. I've done that and am familiar with a number of ship types, so I cross train based on whatever it is my characters are up to at the moment. If I've got a couple of characters that work together a lot - I'll cross train them or one of them at least - just so they can share the same ships, weapons etc.
Outside of wanting to RP a specific race - what you are - doesn't matter - what you do - does.
