Why They Hate The Lord of the Rings ~ The Scouring of Tolkien


Students shall not pass unless they accept The Lord of the Rings is offensive. A history module called Decolonizing Tolkien et al, taught at the University of Nottingham, uses a text that says orcs and other dark-skinned characters in the trilogy are the victims of “ethnic chauvinism”. - The Telegraph Here we go again, not a year goes by without some activist/academic attacking our beloved Professor. If someone thinks orcs are anything other than creatures, they told on themselves.
This is not a debate about orcs or the villains of Middle-earth, it is a battle for our culture.
