Jesus, can't these reviewers keep things straight? It was Star Wars: The Phantom Menace that was jam-packed with racist stereotypes!

Of course, all those pictures of the Vatican are really telling everybody to be catholic!

Tell you what else - the Haradrim who approached Frodo and Sam outside the Black Gate was pretty pasty under his mask. In Tolkien's writing, men from Harad and Khand are expressly dark skinned (logical since these are hot desert areas). I can only imagine they aren't dark in the film because someone pointed out that people might see the baddies being dark as racist.

Besides which, most of the Men who served Sauron weren't particularly evil, they'd been persuaded, tricked or enslaved in to it.

Or maybe Sauron and company were the good guys all along (c'mon, people from all over the world coming to help him?), while Rohan and Gondor are evil, destructive aggressors, and the whole book is a cleverly disguised commentary on propaganda as told from the bad guys' perspective.

Awww, cool! Normally I have to hitch-hike. And anyone who's seen Jay and Silent Bob knows what that entails.


Also, Of-****ing-Course LOTR is racist.

The Orcs are a race. We hate them. Therefore, it's stirring up anti-Orc sentiment and promoting racism.

Simple.

****ing Orcs, we had a few move in a couple of months ago and you know what? The cases of cannibalism have skyrocketed.

It must be playing havok with property-values.
