AOC reached for comment: “J. R. R. Tolkien proves his stand on diversity. After all, he picked Ian MacClellan to play Gandalf didn’t he?

The left has been coming after Tolkien, for implying that all elves are white. Nevermind the fact that it’s a European allegory and it should be expected that all characters are European stock.

Marxism needs to be excluded from any Diversity discussions.

Anybody want to discuss the dark hued men of the south who were mercenaries in the pay of Sauron? Even in the films they were portrayed to resemble Arabs. Tolkien knew what (and who) evil would look like. And kudos to Jackson for not flinching in the making of the films.

A serious Tolkien scholar, Anne C. Petty, must be rolling over in her grave.

“Diversity” is code for “No white people allowed.”

"It was said by Gimli that there are few dwarf-women, probably no more than a third of the whole people. They seldom walk abroad except at great need. They are in voice and appearance, and in garb if they must go on a journey, so like to the dwarf-men that the eyes and ears of other peoples cannot tell them apart."
The Return of the King, Appendix A
Give the Dwarves some credit. Unlike the Muslims, they didn't make the women wear a hijab or a niqab to hide their bad looks. Don't think anything else in Tolkien could be considered transgender. Unlike the Peter Jackson movies, Tolkien's Elven women were very feminine.

Deep seated pathological narcisistic infantilism.
Tolkein was a conservative Christian. He wrote Christian stories. He and C.S. Lewis were at the vangaurd of Christian literature.
Enough with the perversion.

How is it possible for anyone to care whether his work is diverse?
Besides, there are characters in the works that are more diverse than any on earth...
