Absolutely. The writing's only part of it; their priorities were almost entirely different. And the Kinslaying just made things even worse.
Eldarin prejudice against the Avari?
Definitely. There's more than enough "West is better" thought running through everything to account for that. And since Orcs are humanoid…It's a logical but unpleasant conclusion. (Mind, I think the Orcs are genetically engineered Elves (and/or descendants of them) and the meddling removed the immortal aspect, possibly on purpose. And that adds a different dimension to that quote.)
