No. 
To be less succinct, drow vs. other elves–just like ‘racism’ in the real world–is actually prejudice on ethnic basis (I call it “etnithcism”; human prejudice against human, like drow against elves–and vice versa–is still prejudice within the same race). Drow vs. let’s say... humans... now that would be racism.
