The author of the article is a nut, get over it.
Though i'l lagree with lurkette on the racial tones in society anyways.
P.S. The story was based on English, Finnish, and other European legends - and if you take it as Tolkien put the location of Middle-Earth as relative to Europe, the Southrons would be around the Turkish area.
And do note it has nothing to do with them being 'bad guys' or whatever - in fact, some of the best lines in the book (or the Extended Edition of TTT) has them wonder if they were really evil or if they ahd just been decieved.
