The Southrons were described as "Swarthy" the same word used to describe many Middle Eastern persons. Also, you have to realise that the Lord of the Rings was based a lot on Finnish culture, and mythology. So its only natural that whites would be the heros. Just as a whites were the badguys, except for Sauron who was not human at all. This whole article has no merit. Anyone can with an axe to grind can find racism in anything, but that is more telling of the person looking for racism than the author of the work being reviewed.
I mean C3po as the happy slave? Come one, get real.
