Why are dwarves always the same when there are a million types of elves?

Why are dwarves always the same when there are a million types of elves?

But there isnt. However, I can understand where you are coming from. I think it has to do with what makes dwarves... dwarves. If caves and mines make dwarves dwarfy then thats what they are. Elves are elfy because they have trees, magic, and other crap. They have more characteristics to expand upon.

Tolkien had a lot of different elven kingdoms/"ethnicities" which readers mistook for separate species

Well there are usually dark dwarves in most settings, like chaos dwarves in Warhammer fantasy or the dreuger of Pathfinder so that's more than just one subrace

Why aren't the many variations of human even though they're as widespread as elves? Where's my ice humans, dark humans, and dire humans? Most you ever hear of is occasionally a vague "high man", or maybe have neanderthals haphazardly inserted into the lineup.

Russia.

Canada.

As a proud Granite dwarf I find it insulting that you can't tell the difference between myself and my kin and those Dwarves who dwell in Basalt, or Marble. Or even, Stone forbit, a Sedimentary Dwarf. Those Sedimentary Dwarves are barely Dwarf kin at all, they're one step down from being cloud gazing Humans after all, and good Solid Stone Dwarf will tell you that!

>million types of elves?
And see that's the rub. There aren't a million type of elves, because they are all the fucking same. The only different is a writer or editor thinking they are making their own special snowflake elf races and they are really just making more of the same.
