'A REVOLUTIONARY has no personal interests, only his PASSION for the REVOLUTION itself'
Probably not intentionally. I haven't read anything Middle earth related in years, but I think there are a whole bunch of questionable elements in his novels and world. (This does not stop them from being awesome works of fiction though)Is this the hideous racism I think it is? Because if so...

I see you haven't beat idiots in the head with that sack of door knobs. Get to work slack ass.

Google is your friend.
"I'm anti-Republican and Democratic / if they self destruct that's anti-climactic"
Google must be racist as well.
What a relief.
I still don't like google though, on account of them being capitalists...

Lord of the Rings is so racist that Stormfront have their own section dedicated to it.
I'm serious, if you don't believe me go check it out.
As opposed to the socialist search engines that proliferate over the internet?What a relief.

“How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?” Charles Bukowski, Factotum
"In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining... We demand this fraud be stopped." MLK

Racism is a staple of most fantasy novels and worlds. Most of the heroes are white straight dudes with a token minority. (Look at how Tolkien describes orcs -- they sound familiar to bad Asian stereotypes) I'm not saying it's ok, but it's a fact that the genre(especially anything pre-2000) features bullshit bigoted stereotypes.

The etymology is not precisely known, but it's certainly unrelated to the racial epithet, which it predates by a couple centuries. It is most likely borrowed from one of the Germanic languages, like the Old Norse word for stingy, hnøgger.
It should be noted the Tolkien was an ultra-Catholic who, while later voicing some opposition to Hitler and the Nazi Party, supported Franco during the Civil War because he was upset that some left Republicans were anti-religious.
I'm aware that lotR is very racist- what with the "Haradrim" and the "Easterlings", but I never knew it was that bad. It's a real shame, because I really enjoy those books.

LoTR is brilliant.
Quit dissing it guys.
It still amazes me that every few months a thread like this pops up discussing the *shocking* racist undertones in fantasy.
The fantasy genre is generally just race wars + magic.
