Ignore the racist morons who think having black elves is somehow unthinkable.

I find it a bit distracting. Lord of Rings is based on a European Fantasy world so naturally all the characters are white.

There are plenty of stories in Africa that Hollywood can explore. How about the Adventures of Mansa Musa?

Black Panther certainly showed it can be profitable....Make Wakanda Great Again!

It just doesn’t bother me.

As Bob Costas said about sports: “Look it’s a wacky business. Who cares?

The annoying part of this is that there are/were storylines in Rings of Power that would have involved other races. Specifically, they could — and very much should — have told the story of how the Numenoreans (Aragorn’s ancestors for those who don’t know...) fell into corruption by enslaving and exploiting people of other races who lived in the southern parts of Middle Earth. That’s kind of why Sauron was able to rally some of them to fight with him later on.

Or "Little black Sambo"? Tee-hee.
