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.

I love their slogan: "Carping about the excesses of clueless crybabies since the turn of the century."

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."

I mean, seriously. We would all be better off if they would stop stirring the inequality stew untill it REALLY was a matter of intolerance. Maybe I'll go make a movie and everyone will be gray and look exactly the same. Reminds me of a Twilight Zone Episode actually. Someone wished that everyone was equal and got along perfectly. The next morning everyone was gray and had a set pattern to their lives that they couldn't deviate from. Yeah, right, everything was dandy. Stop trying to level the field and be TOLERANT of other things instead of trying to make those things go away. Talk about discrimination, they take it to it's peak. Why discriminate against one thing when you can discriminate against them all? Psshhhhh... Idiots.

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

These people also don't want to think about the era in which the stories were written... It was a different time...

On the whole, I fully agree with everything Grythus says up there...

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.

Wow! I didn't know that native americans are 7 feet tall, green and slimy!

And yes, something similar did come up just before TTT was released, a site protesting about it becuase they claimed the Peter Jackson had deliberatly titled the move 'The Two Towers' in order to cash in on the 9/11 tradgedy.

Poppycock...

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.

Both of us were a bit upset about parts of this latest movie Trilogy. Did anyone notice there was only one Dwarf? That seems pretty racist to me. And we were almost ready to make a call to S.P.C.O. (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Oliphants)after watching the Return of the King.

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.
