Legolas, being much older, would've lived in Mirkwood for quite a long time before Thorin and his company took back the Lonely Mountain. During that time, I'm sure he was taught that dwarves were sad, greedy creatures. I can't imagine Thranduil's wood-elves and the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain throwing parties together and such. Remember - dwarves slew the great king of the Sindar, Elu Thingol. That was not overlooked by the elves until Legolas/Galadriel become friends with Gimli.
