I can only remember seeing gold elves in Elaine Cunninghams books. There was Nimesin in Elfshadow, who was, in fact racist, even (especially) against "grey elves", and belonged to a cabal of like-minded sun elves. But, then again, he was considered to be a villain, you can expect them to be evil.Then, there were gold elves in Evermeet, and, once again, they were often scheming bastards who wanted to shove the grey from the throne. Once again, elitists and villains.The only other I can think of (although, in other stories,  there were a couple of other elves I can't remember the subrace of, they might well be sun elves) was the spellsinger who trainded teh young Thann. He wasn't really what you'd call "Nazi"All the examples from above were villains, the worst (in regarod of good and evil) of their kind. Of course they are evil bastards, and you can expect them to show the bad traits their race is famous for - but amplified and further villainized. A gold elf villain is a racist, just like a dwarf villain is greedy and a gnome villain is someone who reminds you of Frankenstein.But you can't base your racial outlook on these persons. Only a very small minority of sun elves are actually genocidal bastards, just like only a very small minority of Germans are Nazis.I agree. It's not exactly that they hate other races. They just like their own better, and want to preserve their traditions and ways, keeping foreign influences out. More like overly conservative.</blockquote>
