Why do you think the friendship between Legolas and Gimli was so notable? Cause dwarves and elves get along? No, cause they historically despise each other, talk down about each other, and distrust each other. Elrond, as well as all the elves of Lorien are openly hostile and intolerant towards Gimli and the dwarves and talk about them like they’re animals. I dunno what you call that but racism
I’ve already commented on another post with the why and how the dwarves and elves might dislike one another. But to say the Elves would “genocide dwarves and enslave men” if they ruled Middle Earth (spoiler they did rule Middle Earth for a time and none of that occured) is blatantly wrong and antithetical to Tolkien’s work.
