With respect, there's being a grammar nazi and there's making a post with proper punctuation that is easy for readers to understand and comment on. Your bad typing makes your point very weak.

As such, I have decided a new rule for myself: If you don't have the care to make your points perfectly legible without requiring my time to sort it, then I don't have the care to read your post fully to fully understand your statement, as such, I am blindly firing here on paraphrased material, while reading all of the easily-legible sentences.

People hate the elves as a people because they have been warring with them since both were infant races. As a matter of fact, there was recently a war involving a certain bunch of elves, who as a group decided that they were superior to all men, and in fact put this into practice as they wander around the homelands of other races. It's a Nazi scenario. A group in power has its eyes set on something that negatively affects everyone, and their actions in doing so result in the entire of their kind being soured. People merge the two together and the end result is that everyone gains prejudice towards said race of people. It's human instinct being put into practice: Cavemen get attacked by tigers, caveman and his brethren all go and slay all the tigers, regardless of whether they fight back or not. This backfires and backfires until a solution is formed, where either one side is completely eliminated, or both sides can reach neutral ground. We spend our time getting killed or attacked by these people, and so we react by changing our disposition towards them. It's a natural reaction to hate something that you've been at war with. Hence why Isran hates vampires, many a WWII soldier dislikes the Germans (and vice-versa), and so on, so forth.

Frankly, if I were to have to go around killing Altmer all the time, listening to how they've killed such a person, and done such a thing, I probably wouldn't be too fond of them afterwards, when it comes to getting to know them. Such is life.
