LOTR Called Racist Story Posted By Jeff on December 29, 2003
Fox News has a new views blurb about a writer, Lloyd Hart, who claims Lord of the Rings is a racist story. Star Wars fans will remember that similar claims were made at George Lucas for his characters Jar Jar Binks, Watto, and other aliens in Episode 1.
The deep thinkers at Indymedia have come to the conclusion that the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy paints a "racist stereotypical tapestry" that does a disservice to young viewers everywhere.
The fact that King Theoden, a white guy, calls his troops the "great warriors of the West" clinches it in Hart?s eyes.
