That isn't even very coherent with Silmarillion though. Elves are contradictory people but they are are the original people of Middle -Earth (Dwarves, it's Dwarves ffs) but their outcomes regardless of culture century after century is the same. They were simply made to lose by Iluvatar, and when they tried to resist that fate, they ended even worse. Fucking godlet. And in the end, all the nonhuman peoples just "faded". This one short sentence, more than anything else makes me ask Tolkien "whose the racist now". And what's worse, the "fading people" got such a staple trope in almost every fantasy setting that exceptions are very rare.
