Dude LOTR is racist to humans, not just orcs. All the evil men are swarthy easterners and southerners (i.e. asians and africans), all the hero men are fair and from the west. Of course, the whites are the recipients of divine favor too.
Yeah, and to (((dwarves))) as well. im not saying the setting isnt fundamentally racist in a lot of ways, just that you don't have to stretch too hard to reinterpret it in other ways and that Tolkien would probably be quite happy to see us doing so
I like tolkien, ok? weirdo anarcho-monarchist that he was
