As others have said, it's that perception of "Anything humans can do, elves can do better, and have been doing it better for thousands of years."

Not many people hate elves, unless you're a gnome fan.So why do people hate the various races of elves (Elves, Eladrin, Drow etc).
Does Tolkien have anything to do with it?
And why oh why don't you change them until you like them again?

I'd argue that elves are all about the sex. Given how we have a race of half-elves, and all those sub races, and well, I won't get into the elf porn on the internet...Possibly because elves don't have……………I can't find the right word for it. I want to call it "primal factor" a sort of deep down aspect that shows they're still linked to the animal world (using evolutionary-type language, "they're still mortal" is another way to say it). Dwarves and orcs have chest thumping passion; gnomes and halflings have sing sneakiness. Elves?
They hug trees.
Yeah, that sounds like a whole lot of fun.
