I don't own it. I thought "not my middle earth" was obvious enough to be taken as just a figurative expression I used to mean: not what I see as ideal for its depiction.

If there has to be diversity in the production, here is what I'd green light: have the Black actors play as either the Orcs or as people from Harad or places south of it. The Easterlings can be like Genghis Khan's Mongolians if they're from the East of Rhun.

Politics of Lord of The Rings to be clear.

And sadly I have participated.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.
