      Yep, his orcs were patterned after "the least lovely ... features of the mongol races" by his own admission. Then you have essentially all urban fantasy pigeonholing them as the inner city uneducated underclass, frequently in violent gangs. Hmm. No symbolism THERE.

      He wasn't actually trying that hard, when a film director wanted to make the Orcs less implicitly racist by making them not human at all (having them be bird monsters) he got mad That's where the quote calling Orcs "Mongol-types" comes from, he was actively insisting on it

      They are NOT human dumbass. They never were. They are Humanoid beings like the Elves. Orcs in LotR are mutated elves marred by the Dark God Melkor. That are Tolkien's variation of old world Demonic beings from Faerie stories and myths. Learn some actual history you buffoon.

      What's more any ACTUAL research into Tolkien himself shows he wasn't a racist and that his life and professed beliefs illustrate the exact opposite. All you have this excerpt.

      We're not arguing about Tolkien's whole life or how he was as a human being, we're arguing about whether he made up Orcs based on a negative stereotype of Asian people, which he clearly says he did

      Context matters asshat. This single excerpt is all you have to claim that Orcs are a Racist stand in when EVERYTHING ELSE doesn't support this claim. Not his life , not his beliefs , not his inspirations , nor the damn lore itself.

      Lol nothing about his life whatsoever says he wasn't racist against Asian people LotR is his weird project to try to create a new essentially British mythology that wasn't polluted by external influences the way the King Arthur legends were

      Lol what is this argument even "This one time when he directly addressed whether Orcs are based on Asians, he said yes But how does that outweigh all the other times he didn't say anything about it because he was talking about something else"

      I mean, you're making that up from basically nothing (Tolkien never mentioned this) and also having a religious justification wouldn't make it not racist
