At least, I don't think they do. It is not known what the Snow Elves thought about men. However, they do went to war against the Atmorans so I imagine they possess similar thoughts to those of Altmer. There's no real solid proof behind the intentions of the Snow Elves, regarding their war with the Nords.

It might've been because of the eye of Magnus. It might of been fear of the Nord population exceeding that of the Elves. Or it might have been just pure xenophobia. None of these steer towards the idea that the Snow Elves had arrogance to match most Altmer. From what I've seen by the last Snow Elf in the Chantry of Auriel, the conflict between them and the nord seemed to be related to the Eye Of Magnus, which would make sense.
