Why is there no black people in lord of the rings?

There are some black people in Harad

because black people weren't invented until 1999

>black people in medieval england

>what are orcs?

>if they ever remake LOTR Gandalf will be black and Frodo will be a woman

>lord of the rings takes place in england.

It's written for english children in englond

they literally speak english and it looks like the english countryside

Quick heads up, in case you visit, there are no elves, orcs or hobbits in England.

>what is that racist talking about?

because it's a "fantasy" world. in most white people's fantasies, black people don't exist.

yeah but its a fantasy idiot

like how superheroes dont actually exist and fly around new york

White nationalism is back on the menu, boys!

The Shire is supposed to be idyllic

All savage characters were already portrayed by orcs.

>lord of the rings
>the hobbit

It does. It's a fictional history in the likeness of Beowulf or the Arthurian Tales. Tolkien wrote all about it in his personal letters.

*are

Tolkien would've been fine putting black people in Lord of the Rings to be honest. The dude wrote a scalding letter to a German publishing company when he was asked about his aryan heritage. He even felt bad that he never got to include any orcs or Haradrim that fought against Sauron because he was wholly opposed to the notion of any particular race or creature being presented as innately evil.

He was just a linguist, hardcore catholic and anti-industrialist who saw his beloved countryside turned to rubble and dust over the course of his lifetime -- and he wrote some really damn good books.
