>orcs are technically elves
They literally aren't. They're a perversion from Morgoth in the best case scenario. And in LoTR is mentioned that Saruman was making his own experiments to create half-orcs using Men. In all cases these things stopped being their origin long ago.

LoTR has Dark Elves, and they're quite cool on their own. They just aren't shitty copies of the same unimaginative idea taken from D&Dslop, Derphammer and Moorcuck. And thanks God, we have enough hacks copying shitty ideas like these already.
