I've always looked at the friendship between Legolas and Gimli as an example of understanding overcoming prejudice. In the beginning Legolas and Gimli suffered from stereotypical or pre-judged ideas about what the other one must be like, being a dwarf/elf. Once they began travelling together, they likely learned things about each other that allowed them to move beyond the stereotypes.
