I realized something when I was re-reading LOTR/The Hobbit/ & the Silmarillion. Most of the elves are described as pale, so it’s possible that most are white, but both the hobbits and dwarves have mentions of a lot of racial diversity, and the men do as well. POC dwarves and hobbits! Sorry, I was really excited and my cousin said that it didn’t matter, but representation always matters.

(I…. probably take a lot of liberties with Tolkien’s fave word to describe Elves, hahaha. Well, ‘fair’ can also mean ‘beautiful’! 😉 PLUS, there’s that amazing resource that is askmiddleearth’s series on racism! It confirms and/or suggests alllllll sorts of possibilities!

That’s awesome Nonnie! And yes, it matters. I agree with you. It matters so much.
