I am honestly not against diverse representation, it's just that Tolkien specifically does not evoke it much for me. Worse yet, Tolkien implies that the "Lesser" kinds of Men are darker-skinned than the good guys, which I can see as something that could be taken as racist.
Other fantasy settings I have no problem with how much POC representation is in them Someone mentioned to me in a comment upthread Marvelverse's black Heimdall. Well I may think all the Norse gods as white but I don't mind MCU making Heimdall - or Nick Fury - black.
I don't mind POC diversity in Forgotten Realms either, because Faerûn seems like a fantasy setting where people travel a lot more than Middle Earth. It also has a lot more detail about groups of people who would logically be typed as POCs of some degree (not getting into the debate of whether Hispanic or Mediterranean people are POC or white).
