It's easy to think of the stereotypes between humans and elves.
What would it take for there to be a race of humanoids who are to us what humans are to the elves?
They age faster and multiply at greater numbers, are far more crude, muscular, and warlike yet are intensely devoted to superficial politics and have an even greater reliance on technology and brutal industry which put even China to shame.
And all of them want to have sex with our women.
All you're doing is looking at the other end of the spectrum.
And that end is orcs.
Thread can end now.
>elves view humans like humans view orcs
That makes me sad.

Africa?
But Orks are generally though of as being technologically inferior.
Where as humans are thought of as being technologically superior to elves, yet they rely on magic.
Humans are not technologically superior to elves in most settings. They're roughly equal to elves in technology in D&D settings, less in technology in Middle Earth, less in technology in Warhammer 40000. The only setting I can think of where humans are more technologically advanced than elves is Warhammer Fantasy (the dead one, not Age of Fagmar), but that's mostly mooching on the Dwarfs.
This.
desu the stereotype that elves are tree dwelling hippies that all eat fruits and use nothing but bows and spears is a meme
Remember that it was the elves who reforged Andúril
Here's another possible one

Sub-Saharan Africans
Goblins.
Sub-Saharan Africans don't age more quickly, they just don't live as long due to any combination of disease, violence, and malnutrition.
The elves in warhammer still saw the humans as primitive, and they didn't need technology because their mastery of magic far exceeded anything the humans were capable of. Anything the empires technology could achieve, the elves could do it 2x better with magic. The elves were surprised that humans were capable of anything more advanced than pointy sticks and mud huts when they returned to the old world, and many of them see humans as little more than orcs
Close enough nigger.
Goblins. Ugly, warlike, cruel, smart, multiplies like rabbits. Way more adaptable than humans since they can make home even in cramped tunnels or sewers.
neandrathals
They do mature faster though.
Australians
...and here's the technology.
Orcs
