Racism in Tolkien

[LadyGaladriel1980]

Totally correct, just compare the extinction of Dark Numenorian and the salvation of Easterling and Harrad in ROTK, and then I think you can only conclude the severest intelligent challenged people will say JRRT has racism in his work.

Yes, Tolkien was no racist, it is sad, that some people say in our modern days, that he was. Tolkien was realistic....he did know, that people can only have dark skin in very warm areas like them, which the Harad come from, it was a desert area.
Our ancestors was also black, when they come from Afrika to Europe in stone age, but because of the colder european climate the skin color of their descendants change into white. So Tolkien was very realistic, because in Middle earth the climate is comparable to Europe.
