No doubt, both of those were almost completely homogeneous. But not 100%. As far and wide as the Vikings traded and raided you don't think their gene pool expanded any?

The idea that one black Dwarf existing bothers so many people is confounding.

I also can’t say with 100% certainty that the Millennium Falcon didn’t show up at the Battle of the Last Alliance and shoot down the Fell Beasts. Tolkien just forgot to mention that.

Do you not see how far you can go down this idiot rabbit hole? “Well he didn’t explicitly say that this didn’t happen.” Yeah, because he didn’t count on the world getting this insane that he’d have to clarify something every reader will innately understand.

What the frick are you talking about. He explained what happened in that battle. So yes, if the Falcon showed up that would be as idiotic as you thinking of that example.

What I'm talking about is a physical description of a fantasy character. In his own works he described how elves looked. If there was a black actor playing one contrary to how Tolkien portrayed them, then sure, you rage all you want.

No such thing existed for the dwarves.
