AUGHAGSKJAHSFGJHGA so DIFFICULT

um.

Okay, I had a good think about this. My first inclination was to change something plot-wise (BOROMIR LIVES, THORIN LIVES, DENETHOR DROPS THE PALANTIR DOWN THE LAVVY EARLY IN THE TALE AND SO ALL THAT SHIT NEVER GOES DOWN, etc etc). But then I remembered something in particular.

So here it is, the line I would change. From ‘Battle of the Pelennor Fields’.

He now was destroyed; but Gothmog the lieutenant
of Morgul had flung them into the fray; Easterlings with axes,
and Variags of Khand, Southrons in scarlet, and out of Far
Harad black men like half-trolls with white eyes and red
tongues.

TBH, this is only one example of violent and derogatory description towards POC in the books. It’s far from the only one. And I would change that. I’d change all of them, if I were able.

I would turn it into this:

He now was destroyed; but Gothmog the lieutenant of Morgul had flung them into the fray; Easterlings with axes, and Variags of Khand, Southrons in scarlet, and out of Far Harad black men came with bright eyes and proud steps. 

Because we must be better than that, Professor.
