When he said he had everything, he meant that he had everything he needed / wanted for the setting, not that the setting has EVERYTHING.Also, Elves and Humans have some quite substantial physical differences, which of course vary by what your source material is. They might appear fairly similar, but Elves need less sleep, are more in tune with magic, live VASTLY longer lives, etc. It's not just cultural.You say that he might not make friends by excluding people, I'd answer that you're not going to make many friends by being so standoffish and taking things personally. Not wanting the race you brought up isn't an insult to you, just basically saying hey, try another race. I mean if swamp lizardfolk hadn't been okay, I would have shrugged and made a different character.

Not every setting of elves has those differences. Most significant physical differences boil down to a lifespan difference and pointy ears, if even that. The sleep thing only exists in D&D, if I remember right. I don't think I'm being standoffish here, only determined. I'm willing to compromise, but I'm not someone who caves in lightly when I'm not being treated fairly. I don't think I'm being insulted, just being treated in a very odd way.
