Neither NEEDED to interject or invent new characters from other cultures to be fantastically interesting in their own right.

But Tolkien?

All of this.

As I've seen other comments about this subject it almost seems like they're going out of their way to destroy a cherished piece of British/western culture.

They could do a fantasy show that is D&D and have all the woke stuff in the world. Whatever races, genders, sexual orientations and such because that fits D&D which is random as hell. Yet they released a D&D cartoon that has all the heroes being white. Scanlan is a womanizer and is a beloved character.

It just doesn't make any sense unless they're purposely trying to attack British/western culture when it comes to LOTR.
