Don't elves have a visceral hatred for orcs, what with them being originally elves brutally deformed and beaten into submission by Morgoth and all that ? If anything, most elves would like you a bit more for being racist towards orcs.

Elves are super racist toward pretty much every other race.

They're basically nostalgic brtish grandpas, of course they are.

Treebeard bows deeply to the Lord and Lady of Lothlorian. Ents were taught to speak (trees in the old woods) by elves. So superiority exists.

Counterpoint. The first born are said to be envious of the gift the one gave the second born (men). Death. Before Melkor corrupted the truth and Sauron convinced the Numemoreans that death was evil.
