Maybe it's the amount of Anime I watch or the old school fantasy I used to read, but for me elves were either Blonde, Brunette or Ginger tall White lithe people, even the men. They're meant to feel ethereal like outside of our normal confined lifespans, unless you go dark elves and wood elves (which STILL don't look Black or Asian) making them look more like humans especially in diversity takes that away from them.
