pomson6000 replied to your post “I think though that at least parts of the racism in tolkiens works is...”
i feel like there's a difference between being racist and emulating racism, and tolkien was doing both :/ if he really wanted to make a fantasy world where race wasn't an axis of oppression similar to the one on earth, he could have At Least bothered to not make the orcs all have dark skin while all the elves are very light... but by choosing that, he seems to imply that oppression based on skin co a "natural" consequence of all civilized society, which is way fucked up.
I agree he was doing both. In same cases he was doing it on purpose, and then on other cases I just don’t think he even realized it :/ And exactly, he applied real life racial stereotyping to a fictional world. The harmful stereotypes were there.
It’s just all to direct to say that at least half of it wasn’t intended :/
