re: #1 calochortus

It will be a great day for humanity when you can have the bad guys be any race, color or creed and no one thinks it is representative of the entire group. Apparently that day is still a long way off.

There is an incredible amount of butthurt over at Lawyers, Guns and Money concerning the ‘racism’ in the LOTR and orcs, who some folks seem to believe are supposed to be teh lawless brown skinned hordes that Tolkien was skeered of.

Never mind that the books and movies are specific that orcs used to be elves until Morgoth and Sauron ruined them (representing a physical manifestation of spiritual corruption from a Christian standpoint).
