Like, I love the LoTR movies, even the Hobbit joints.
But show me the Black or PoC characters...where are they?

@Adam_Cadmon1 They are an allegory set in fantasy Medieval Central Europe.

One would expect Black characters there as much as one would expect White characters in fantasy Medieval Central Africa.

a) it’s fiction, why not cast parts with actors who aren’t white?

b) a cursory search throws up https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z8gpm39 and I’m sure other European countries in Central Europe will have also had folk from Africa there, in those times given you’d likely travel through or past them to get to Britain.

Were you trying to make some sort of point or just being racist?
