The Lord of the Rings series has been branded 'racist' by a science fiction writer who claims orcs are discriminated against and written as inferior.

American author Andy Duncan said British author JRR Tolkien depicted evil creatures such as orcs as 'worse than others' and said this had 'dire consequences for society'.

The criticism comes despite Tolkien being known as a fierce critic of racism, particularly the Nazi Germany regime in the 1930s and 40s.

Orc lives matter.

I knew it was a matter of time before liberals found a reason to oppose Tolkien.

The insanity NEVER STOPS.

In other words, he’s an open borders advocate.

Wait until they decide Narnia is not to read list.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Orcs racially profiled themselves by illegally crossing into Gondor and Rohan in large numbers.

[Sans-Culotte]

This author just outed himself as someone whose works are not worth reading.

Narnia will be accepted by the Marxist-Puritans, because the kids snuck in illegally using a magic closet.

Oh bull.

We just 8 years of the media telling us how beautiful and stylish our First Uruk-hai was

[sauropod]

It’s increasing.

Some of my best friends are orcs. s/

Orcs = Antifa

PHOOEY to both of them!!!!

Orc chicks are easy.

One of the things hurting fiction of all types is, you can’t have an evil villain. Star Trek had to turn the Klingons, Cardasians and Romulans into people just like us, but different. To do otherwise was discrimination. Besides, diversity. They had to keep coming up with new villains because the old villains were just misunderstood.

Don’t these people ever rest?

This nonsense not only trivializes racism but desensities people to the multiple times everyday we hear the term used.

[Tench_Coxe]

Haven't heard of this guy. Is he trying to get his name out there by making an absurd statement?

Fighting against the Uruk Hai is racist, my Lord. Tell your men to lay down their arms.....

[ClearCase_guy]

An author cannot tell a tale of the battle of Good and Evil unless the author recognizes that Evil Exists.

Tolkien knew this simple fact very well.

But some fools believe that Evil does not exist at all.

Yes those High Elves in Valar are even worse than white folks.
