So f'n dumb
tolkien explicitly stated that The Silmarillion (and later the entire Legendarium) were aimed to be a mythological construct for England. He believed that unlike the Greeks, Norse, or the various Germanic people, the English had no specific mythology attached to their culture.
Middle earth WAS MEANT AS A PREHISTORY OF NORTHWEST EUROPE
why would you have asians and blacks in such a narrative?
Also, lotr explicitly has swarthy men who are supposed to represent southern europe, and men of harad/khand meant to represent middle east and near asian steppes.

The well of creativity in Loony Lefty Land (deep in Mordor of course) has run dry.
So they take someone else's creative work and then tweak it to 21st century wokeness.

Shut your mouth, bigot!
What a strange thing for HHTM to get booty blasted about. Let me guess - LOTR, Star Wars, and Harry Potter were your go to fantasies and morality examples growing up because of an absence of religion or father figure in your life, and now that the woke mob is fricking with it, you don’t know how to cope.
Am I more or less in the ballpark?
