defended the predominantly White cast

I'd be alot more interested in the movie if it had an entirelly White cast, like the original trilogy.

Isn't a lot of the hunt for Gollum east of the Anduin and north of Mordor? (I am assuming that is what the link is about archive.ph isn't loading for me)

Turkic/Mongolian/Alan inspired race incursions are canon in that area. Even the Jackson Two Towers had those guys in the masks coming out of the gate there.

Too white? It should be all white.

And they can be the pallid cave-dwelling kind.

only the ant-white bbc would attack a director for hiring based off merit and faithfulness to the source

Hollywood would happily do so as well.

All the humans, elves, hobbits and dwarves should be White. Then, without any additional make-up, they should just have 100% black people for orcs and mulattos for goblins.
