From what I remember from Oblivion, the Altmer were described as bigots, because they see themselves as direct descendents of "the great Ayleid race that ruled all of Cyrodiil".

That, and seeing as how the Bosmer are more nature-oriented than ideological, as well as cannibalistic (I read this either in some in-game book, or on some wiki I think), the Altmer may see them as inferior.
