My roommate just told me he'd seen people online who contended that 'The Lord of the Rings' was racist in respect to orcs, the slathering, kill-you-dead creatures who, oh, yeah, are completely fictional. Because there's not enough real racism to fight against, right, we have to worry about racism against imaginary people. [Sarcasm sign firmly displayed, just in case you didn't get that.]
Sigh. Our world is becoming stupid.
We should do everything we can to fight racism in the real world. The fact that these people have lost sight of the arch of the holdoeck really saddens me. I mean, who has time to worry about stuff like that when real people are dying?
Makes me angry.
