The Lord of the Rings series has been branded 'racist' by a science fiction writer who claims orcs are discriminated against and written as inferior.

American author Andy Duncan said British author JRR Tolkien depicted evil creatures such as orcs as 'worse than others' and said this had 'dire consequences for society'.

The criticism comes despite Tolkien being known as a fierce critic of racism, particularly the Nazi Germany regime in the 1930s and 40s.

Orcs are a metaphor for liberals.

There’s the rub. So many modern stories, be they movie, TV, or books slap you in the face with a character’s sexuality, no matter how irrelevant it is to telling the story

“Don’t these people ever rest?”

Not until they are made to hurt.

Really hurt.

Really, really hurt.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

Yeah, a true socialist ideal.

Hey Andy....... guess what?

When American civilization is in the balance, it’s ok to de deversify and profile to eliminate bad guys.

Wait until they decide Narnia is not to read list.

I have consider Costal ‘Demoncrates’ as being worse than Orcs

Next it will be the cartoon show SpongeBob SquarePants being declared racist. The main reason is based upon having Patrick represented as being dumb. Count on it.

And THIS is yet another symptom of the destruction of the British mind by liberalism and being PC. A country they have held and defended against formidable foes for more than a thousand years will be handed over willy nilly to barbarians because the British people have been indoctrinated over the last few decades to be libs and PC. The native Brits will be ground under the heel of the Muzzlime invaders and the new “Brit” will have have dark skin and brown eyes. The occasional blond or redhead will pop up in maternity wards of the future, but Muzzlime looking babies will be the new norm. Congrats, libtards.

This is why no one has ever heard of Andy Duncan.

I’ve yet to hear of a cake baker denying an orc wedding cake.

I see what you did there. :)

So does this makes the Riders of Rohan Orc rights violators?

“SciFi writer claims the Lord Of The Rings series is ‘racist’ because it discriminates against orcs”

definitely. Orcs are people too ... or something ...

[Crucial]

I especially liked where the horses bowled over and trampled the orcs. I hope that doesn’t make me insensitive.
