LOTR issue. The wars were fought between different races, IE the human race and it's allies against the races that wanted to destroy them. Not just different cultures and colours. How on earth can any book which involves war be anything but prejudice against one side or the other? I am usually a fan of the Guardian for it's sensible outlook. But the article referred to is twaddle. I can only hope that it was written with tongue firmly in cheek or to get a reaction. It was written in 2002 and discusses a work of fiction as if it were somehow real so, thankfully, it never gained a following.
