Can a glyph of warding be set to activate if a creature of a specific humanoid race touches it? For example, could a glyph of warding be set to activate if a changeling touches it, as a way to detect a disguised changeling?

The spell says:
You decide what triggers the glyph when you cast the spell.
With the unspoken but ubiquitous “subject to DM approval.”
Triggering off a race is allowed [subject to DM approval]
