askmiddlearth:Okay, I’ve gotten several messages lately regarding my racism posts that basically argue that “it wasn’t racist for Tolkien to make everyone white since it’s supposed to be Europe.” Unfortunately, the only thing this tells me is that you haven’t actually read my first post on racism, since I presented about eight pages of research highlighting how many people in Middle Earth actually weren’t described as white. Maybe you didn’t have time to read it, I don’t know. Whatever the reason, I made this little map that basically sums it all up (but if you want to check the research behind this map, definitely go read the original post.) -- source link
