The funny (if you can call it that) thing is that J.R.R. Tolkien was known for his support of racial integration. The Middle Earth books expressed hope against all odds and finding kinship with others. |

Didn't something similar come up after one of the other films was released? |

I remember the big gripe when Star Wars came out. Dumb people. To quote Monty Python (Flying Circus) "It's people like you (these) What cause unrest." |

Don't movies automatically come with a disclaimer these days saying something about any resemblance to anyone, living or dead, is coincidental? |

I am extremely pleased to know that most of us here agree that this sort of thing is ridiculous even though we come from very different political points of view. Political correctness is a dangerous thing to us *all* regardless of which side of the political spectrum spawned it. |

I guess I'm a racist....I hate Orcs. They're just plain shifty and smell bad too. My girlfriend hates them also, but she has to because she's half Hobbit. |

sigh Some people just live to be offended. I seem to remember some talk when The Phantom Menace came out of that movie being accused of being racist as well. Something to do with Jar-Jar being too "Jamaican" and the two ambassodors(?) from the Trade Federation sounded too much like southeast Asians... Whatever. |
