It's calling someone by their race for no reason.

There is reason

Elves have superior eyesight and hearing to men and Dwarves

And Legolas is capable even among Elves.

It's not comparable to Mexicans.

It's more comparable to a saying "What does your dog nose smell" to a K9 Drug Dog. The human can't get the scent.

But why say it? The dog knows it's a dog, and Legolas knows he's an elf.

That would still be a weird thing to say.

Elves essentially have infrared binoculars built in to their eyes. Mexicans don't have anything of the sort and neither do humans (unless you count ringwraiths), dwarves, or hobbits.

it was for the stupid audience that couldnt figure out that elves have better eye sight than humans. Most the audience wondered why the elves were bigger than humans and not small making cookies in trees or toys in a work shops.

They wanted specifically to know what legolas is seeing that they aren't.

But more importantly, it's movie dialogue, and was probably important in the movies to make sure that the viewer knows that elves have better eyesight than man or dwarf. Exposition and such. Is this ever brought up in the movies otherwise? If they didn't specify elf eyes here then how would the viewer know that elves have better eyesight?

Oh I get that. I just think in-universe it'd be a weird thing to say.
