NP "racist" Tolkien?

[jbor]

Anyone can use a search engine. Bandwagon, band. Point is, it's possible to
read the text as not "reproducing racisms" - which is just a euphemistic way
of saying that the text is racist, which is what most of the links you've
posted do actually say. But if you want to see those orcs and trolls as
"Africans" that's your own business. I think it's "reproducing racism" to do
that, but don't let that stop you.
