    This should be the official party position. Tolkien and race is way too thorny of an issue to get lost in the weeds arguing about dwarves.

      Tolkien was a Brit living in imperialist Britain writing mythology based around Anglo-Saxon myths. It's a miracle it's good. Death of the Author that shit and depict any character however they want that still fits the characterization.

        Tolkien might be second only to Nietzsche on having his work be loved by white-supremacists despite absolutely hating them.

        A decent summary of how much Tolkien's work doesn't actually support the reactionary whitewashing bs against the casting:
