I think Dungeon Meshi's a good example of elven diversity. "Dark elves" aren't an ethnicity, but an old-ass descriptor for elves who conjure evil and cause mayhem with (forbidden) magic, back when a race's relationship with the elves were more enigmatic and sparser in contact. It's basically like calling someone a nigger because they commit crimes and act like a total faggot. Even more interesting is that the blacker-skinned the elf, the closer an elf was biologically to the royal bloodline. Thus, a racially pure elf would have pitch black skin and super sharp ears, while a mutt would have pale white skin and fat butter knife ears.

Just goes to show that dunmer = sexiest elves, I guess. I'm a fucking sucker for obsidian black skin and red eyes (since that's what official colorations of Flamela and by extension, the elven queen is).
