The Dwemer were constantly fighting with the Chimer, because of their diferences in culture and religion. They didn't enslave the Snow Elves out of hate, they did it because they could, dwemer only do things to benifit themselfs, they saw the snow elves as tools and they used them as such.

The Maomer, first they were the first elves to seperate from the Aldmer(original elves), their king is imortal, they have eternal hate for the altmer. Not much is know of them other than that, i assume that they have a superiority issue because they are elves, their leader on the other hand almost certantly has a superiority issue because he is imortal, he is likely worshiped as a god by the Maomer, like the tribunal was by the Dunmer/Chimer. This is what leads me to believe that he has a superiority complex, and posibly most of the maomer too.

Have you read "Dunmer of Skyrim" the author insults and belitles the Nords, here are some quotes from the book:  "You, and the white-skinned, jaundice-haired apes of this godforsaken frozen wilderness." ; "You may call this province home, but you can no sooner claim to own it than a cow can claim to own its master's field. You are just another breed of domestic animal, grazing stupidly while higher beings plot your slaughter.". If you can't see that this guy has a superiority complex then you are blind, just read the last quote. Also for more evidence showing the Dunmer have said complex then play Morrowind, the player(if he is not a dunmer) gets mistreated by the dunmer(particularly the nobles). Now for Suvaris read :"Suvaris Atheron's Logbook" and you will see how she treats her argonian workers, she is like most dark elves hates the argonians and thinks they are no more than savages(superiority complex).

Now about the Altmer, remember Taarie, the owner of the clothes shop in Solitude, she insults the player's fashion scence, no matter what your wearing(unless its her clothes, radiant raiment's clothes) even if you are wearing the emperors clothes(you could argue this may be because its a game but i disagree). Calcelmo, unless you help him he keeps disregarding you are telling you to "go away im busy"(again you could argue this doesn;t prove he has the complex and is just way to focused on his research, that doesn;t change the fact he sometimes is a jerk). Endarie, she is a shop keeper in the Radiant Raiments, she resents the player and makes rude and highly sarcastic comments at him(so she is a natural douche, dislikes the player for no appearant reason, i think she qualifies for some superiority issues, what do you think?). No about the college mages, Faralda and Nirya constantly fight amonst themselfs, to deside who is better, Nirya most certantly has a superiority complex(but she is not stupid, she respects the Arch Mage) Faralda im not so sure about(though if you kill Nirya she pays you, which at least makes her a b****); Melaran, he works for Erikur, go to his wiki page and read some of hsi quotes, he is arrogant and thinks him self superior, complex....check;

The list can go on, im not including Thalmor agents or Hostile NPCs, which make up more than half of all the Altmer in the game, Thalmor agents making up most of them. I will say there are a few altmer that don't act snobish like Viarmo for example, but as a whole the Altmer species has the classic elven superiority complex. Obviously the Thalmor are more extreme and comparing them to any othe the other altmer makes the other altmer look like saints.
