They've started doing this to Tolkien's characters of all people, who are not only meant to parallel north-western European mythical heroes but even got their phyisical attributes mentioned by the writer himself. I understand racebending for fun, but claiming you are right and the writer is wrong for not including REPRESENTASHUN when he had no intention for doing that in the first place is stupid. There was even this effort going around to change the wiki pictures because they weren't 'accurate'.

Do all the AUs you want. Samoan Hobbits, whatever. But CHANGING THE WIKI PICTURES? Canon revisionism? If they want mainstream fantasy to be more open to diversity, they're not helping their case.

Considering Tolkien was trying to create a mythology for England when he started writing his stuff, one would think it would be a given that he wrote a lot of white characters.

Exactly. And what I can't help but admire is that he decided to write something he would have wanted to read instead of sitting around and bitching about it. All these people do is change characters for the hell of it instead of taking some of the least explored parts of his Legendarium and expand on them, especially since those exact parts concern the type of people they want to see/read about.
