Evidently the author or producer wants LOTR to be more diverse.
More "diverse" in what way?
And, let me ask you this - is there not a danger in selecting someone for a job based on race, gender or sexual orientation? That doesn't raise any red flags with you?

Looking forward to seeing similar diversity soon in SEC football and NBA basketball

It doesn’t even make sense for there to be black Hobbits. We know they’re from the Anduin Valley and then migrated to the Shire from there. Men fine since they were widely dispersed, but not Hobbits.

As long as we get some black hobbits I'm down.

“It’s about the early days of the Shire and of Tolkien’s environment, so we’re an indigenous population of Harfoots, we’re hobbits but we’re called Harfoots. We’re multi-cultural, we’re a tribe not a race, so there are Black, Asian and brown, even Maori types within it.
The Shire wasn’t even really around in the Second Age, and I don’t think Hobbits at all were around. The Hobbits come from a branch of men that are first mentioned around 1000 of the Third Age. This is absolutely ridiculous and this show is going to be a disaster.

Colbert is a huge lotr fan, wonder what he thinks of this
Honestly he’s the silver lining to this disaster. Colbert said when Dr Seuss books were cancelled by Seuss’ estate said it was the right and responsible thing to do. That was so bad that even Kimmel called out Colbert. When Jimmy first heard about it, he immediately went to his children’s bookshelf, opened up the books, said it was ridiculous and not racist, and then said shite like this will get Donald Trump elected in 2024. When you’re too Woke for Jimmy Kimmel (and Colbert is since he can’t be in the room with anyone actually funny while Jimmy can), then you’ve gone too far.
But now Stephen, the Woke are coming for your Precious. Let’s see if you agree it was the right and responsible thing to do to Wokify Lord of the Rings. He’s going to hate this series, and well deserved. To Colbert:
“Open your mouth! We’re paying for it so you eat it.”
