Actually, I think that's where the ANTISEMITIC angle comes from.
Jews = elves = obviously superior to the "humans" but check out how they are all going to Valinor because now its the "Fourth Age...the Age of Man".... Ethnic/religious separation (with some token exceptions ie., Frodo, Bilbo, and Gandalf joining the elves).
Classic antisemitism--play up Jews' obvious (and well documented) superiority in technology/trade/culture then separate them. Kinda mirrors European history from the fall of Rome to the Third Reich.
