I am playing a typical rascist (Specist?Speciesist?) borderline evil elf mage, who is researching a secret project and adventures to fund said research, barely tolerating his "minions" as a necessary evil. I am torn on the specifics of said project.
Should the project be totally ridiculous: Something like "When I am done I will remove the facial hair of all humanoids in the world - no more smelly dwarf beards!" [cue maniacal laughter!]
Or more straightforwardly genocidal: "When I am done I will remove all dwarves from the world - no more smelly dwarves!"[cue maniacal laughter!]
Something more twisted?
Yes, Golarion - PFS to be specific. The project isn't one he has any real hope of completing, but it is one that consumes him.

First. I would go Snowcaster Elf. Elves so racist, that they will excommunicate any Elf they believe has spent too much time with "lesser races" and are therefore, tainted.
Second. Depends on the tone you wish to set. I would go straight, but that's my preference.
Third. I would find something more than just "Dwarf hate". There is nothing there. You needs to be a reason to take time, and effort, to proactively oppress and persecute such a large group. Perhaps to silence the discovery of Drow, which most Elves are ashamed to even admit exist, and many younger Elves don't know exist. They could even try to blame them for their existence.

Most Elves are not exactly racist, but just don't care about other races. They simply cannot empathize with most races, being so many are short lived.
So, you have to have inspiration to actively hate and persecute other races.
Even then, other Elves will find you a bit weird.
The "typical racist" Elf is just one that doesn't want to have to deal with other races.
Your approach, is anything but "typical".

Instead of hating other races you should pity them. It’s not their fault they were born as animals instead of people. Your “noble” goal is to transform all “thinking” creatures into elves. The fact that they may not want to is of no consequence because obviously they are not rational, or they would be elves. You as a superior creature know what is best for them.
Maybe along the lines of something like this: here!
Though maybe more specialized?
Actually, I think the shorter a race´s lifespan is and the more expansionist it is, the less it would be valued by elves. Relations with dwarves may be fairly amiable, although with high fences, so to speak. Now, goblins, orks (including half-orcs) or even humans?
I would go for something turning all orcoid creatures into the infinitily less disturbing small mammals, i.e. squirrels. Feel free to add humans and halflings if you prefer something more PC groups will be alarmed by.
In my game, the great Everyone believe Elves are a dead race on it's last legs, but Elves are more numerous than ever. The elder troupes of Elves know this and try to get their people to believe it, but the Elven base see their numbers as shrinking, not in absolute numbers but as part of the whole.
A cabal of the high born of the Elves hides in their midst planning the ultimate destruction of lesser races, considering only a precious few worthy to near the pinnacle of perfection. A big juicy conspiracy for some of my players and the faceless hand that generates the most nasty blood lettings. The even hate lesser forms of Elf, including their kin as flawed and to be pitied.
They are but a fraction of a percent of their branch of the Elf tree, but they work behind numerous veils, the unseen force that keeps the mongrol races at bay.
