Every little subrace of humanoids in lord of the rings is white as can be

All of the men of the west are white. Some of the Easterlings are possibly arab-inspired or east Asian inspired, but it's not actually known. Could be med white too. Tolkien loathed the roman empire, so there's a very real chance that the southern races of men were just modeled off of mediteranneans in his mind.

The elves are *white as fuck*. They very clearly represent pure nordics or anglo saxons (probably anglo saxons). Tall, slender, light featured, etc. The only feature that the elves don't share with pure nordics is lack of body and facial hair. But in Tolkien's age those things were considered undesirable, clean shaven was in vogue, and he wanted to create a perfect race, ergo he forewent those features and made the elves hairless.

The dwarves represent the norse. It's pretty damned obvious. The dwarves represent the other side to the Nordic people that the elves do not. Hairy drunks who like to kill shit. Both of these are true. If you combine the elves and the dwarves you get vikings.

The hobbits are the rural brits and celtic descended englishmen. This one is obvious, I don't even need to talk about it.

It's an *anglo saxon* story. Tolkien wanted to create an anglo saxon folktale in the same vain as beowulf, because most of them (as in every single one of them besides beowulf) had gone extinct because of norman cultural repression. The lord of the rings and the silmarilion are anglo saxon myths, and they should be viewed as such, because that's exactly what Tolkien wanted to do and he did exactly that. He drew on nordic and existing anglo saxon mythology, along with a little bit of embellishing, and birthed LOTR.

The lord of the rings is not an allegory for Christianity (sorry, it's not. In any way. Any allegory is accidental because of tolkiens faith being a big influence on his mindset, he didn't set out to create any allegory whatsoever), nor for WW1, it's not a postmodern fairytale, it isn't a medieval fantasy like Canterbury tales, it's not an Arthurian legend. It's an anglo saxon myth and nothing else, and that's why it's amazing.

And Tolkien succeeded. The lord of the rings was a reclamation of germanic culture long forgotten. Before it came out, every fantasy trope was becoming egregiously infantile. If you heard the word "elf" before its release, you would think of Santa's helpers. If you heard "dwarf", you'd think of snow whites dwarves. Among other things. Nowadays, what do you think of when you hear these words? Probably tolkiens versions. Which are the original germanic versions of them.

Which is more than likely why jews are pissing all over his work.
