Personally, I think the reason why a lot of people choose unicorns or Pegasi as the type for their OC (yours truly included, though I don't have an OC yet) or ponysona is because unlike the other two races, Earth ponies have a near equivalent in this world, and frankly, a lot of us, when we watch the show, we don't want to be reminded of the real world; the show and all the fanon and whatnot is like our temporary reprieve from the occasional harshness of reality, and helps us to live our daily lives (or at least, it does for me).

That doesn't excuse that Earth pony bashing, but oh well, it's the Internet, stuff like that happens on a daily basis.
