They let a token Hobbit serve as a Tower Guard, so clearly Denethor has a thing for letting different species serve in his army. That explains the presence of this Haradrim savage from a lore perspective.

You can explain it as much you want but it is clear as day why they choose black guy as MC or why Moonlight won this years Oscars. It is fucking agenda of shit people and I hate it.

Saying this clearly marks me as racist, I'm fully aware of it. Doesn't matter that I tend to roleplay Redguard in every fucking The Elder Scrolls game... you know why I do that? Because I find Redguards to be awesome and no one is pushing them down my throat.

Moonlight may be fine movie, I haven't saw it. But I'm pretty sure that's not the reason why it won an Oscar. Politics is the reason.

What's Moonlight and why we talking about it?

Moonlight(a movie) won(the Oscars) because of PC due to last years "muh black nominees" from last year and is in line with this one black dude in the trailer, and isn't Tolkiens world based mostly on Norse / Finnish and Icelandic folkelore? Would be no nigs there.

Middle Earth is based on everything mythical, Norse, Greek, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, goddamn Bible. Tolkien was a scholar and translator, he borrowed ideas from any source he could find. Although Beowulf was his biggest inspiration.

It's kinda dull having fantasy world without colored people. Imagine Diablo II without Paladin, without Lut Gholein and Kurast. It would be worse experience, quite a bit.

Diversity is good, political agenda abusing diversity is not.

One of the bigger problems with Skyrim is lack of diversity, especially compared with melting pot that is isle of Vvardenfell. Not just that. Nords in Morrowind, are mysterious and intriguing. There's very few of them but you kinda want to know more. In Skyrim they delivered more, in the worst possible way. Stereotypical viking society which has roots on cinema more than actual sources. Nords just don't feel real in Skyrim. When you want to depict northern people who aren't rulers of their destiny, it is better to go Wildlings route from ASoIaF than developed, well off society where winter doesn't to be of much concern like in Skyrim. The way Nords dealt with each other, political struggles reminds me more of Breton. They are so timid, good natured, gullible, like they modeled them based on Scandinavians of today :P

Wait, why are some of you assuming the main character is black? Pretty sure that was just some random guy?
