That's not at all how I saw it. It's a major plot point that the Numenorians have hated elves for generations. The foreigner who came there with the elf immediately tried to steal his way into the a guild, but fails and gets into an ugly fight (a scab basically). He's consistently shown as very unsympathetic before and after this.
After that fight the plebs basically have a "build the wall" rally, and a nobleman calms them down by assuring everyone that they are babies for losing their shit over a single elf, which you could read as the writers attempting a critique of racism. But this is also a fantasy universe where I'm pretty sure elves are strictly superior to humans in every way so analogies are weird.
I think Bezos is smart enough to not only broadcast blatant propaganda, but honestly the scenes here were kind of incoherent so idk.
Lol the noble only diffused the situation by outdoing the racism of the mob (and buying drinks). He basically said “I give you my word no elf will ever work here, this place will stay in control of humans!”

I agree though the politics are a bit incoherent
