I once asked a high elf if there was any parallel to the racism displayed by their city. He responded with the orcs. The orcs have a half breed and her children living with them. Somehow I don't think the High Elves would allow the same.
Orcs aren't as racist as High Elves. Orcs hate everyone, High Elves believe themselves superior to everyone. For example, Nazi Germany is High Elves, Russia is Orcs.
