Without knowing any specifics about the group dynamics, my first suggestion would be to talk it out. See if the GM can clarify what his intentions are for the campaign, and why an elf may not be the most suitable choice. On the other hand, maybe the player can explain why they think an elf would be an interesting choice, and why they want to play one in this campaign. I honestly don’t think that just picking one side or the other is the best way to handle this. Sure, maybe the player is being entitles and forcing an issue that really shouldn’t be that big a deal. I’m reasonably sure that they could play a similar character that’s a human. On the other hand, maybe the GM’s being an unbending tyrant who’s unwilling to accept that his precious setting isn’t all that original and the  addition of an elf doesn’t change that much.  In either extreme case, these don't really sound like people worth playing with. Which is to say, it’s not really about GM or Player....it’s about someone (or both) being a jerk.</blockquote>
