Watered down modern representation:
Considering the meaning it would be NE’s because of the nature aspects but that doesn’t align with their intelligence in control of that nature abilities .
Those judgy ones that sit on shelves… youre not a Valley-Girl elf… stop being so judgy
Christmas elves. Don’t believe the happy stories. Santa runs a dark and scary empire up there

I think always the “fun boy” ones?
“Oh Lawrence, you are SO savage, MEOW!”

Another example of in-game racism.
Oh man, had the whole family together for the holiday and the nephews put on an animated movie called “A Boy Named Christmas”. Not a bad movie, really, but it pretty much breaks down to “Boy discovers elf town, turns them all into slaves” while still keeping a happy holiday theme.
Night elves. Going back to their early concept art:

Clearly, Night Elves. They created the worgen, and even GROM HELLSCREAM himself called them savage!
“These women fight with unmatched savagery! I’ve never seen their equal. They are… perfect warriors.” -Grommash on the sentinels… can’t imagine Tyrande or Malfurion!
“They almost look like elves. But they are far too tall, and far more savage.”
WTB Night Elves or Undead NEs as a horde option.

That’s something I am unsure of. My definition of Savagery is doing whatever you can to survive in a World; where everything is out to kill you.
I am not sure about elves, but for example, I do see the Knights of the Ebon Blade as nothing more than a bunch of Savages.
Well, not the thoroughly defanged Night elves.
Male night elves are tall, buff, and have scary teeth that kinda make it look like if you made out with one they’d probably accidentally bite your tongue off
in this game? none. their relatives the trolls are more savage on their off-days while hungover with two broken legs, blinded, poisoned, cursed and projectile vomiting…
Night Elves… although “savage” is a bit of a misnomer because what we really mean is they wear little clothes and they’re stupid.
As long as there remain distinct “racial traits” associated with each race, it will always make sense to have in game racism. Lots of folks specifically choose a particular race for their character because of the racial bonuses.
If you come across a troll it’s a good idea to judge them by their race as they have specific bonuses (berserk, regeneration, the voodoo shuffle) that can make them a formidable opponent. When it comes to 1v1 combat, being a racist is the smart move in Warcraft.
