Just a load of woke nonsense: No dwarf was ever black and the village seems to be of the first born (Clock the Elven ears) who should have violet eyes, be white skinned with white or blond hair.

They are Harfoots they even call themselves that
heero remember this is a work of fiction no Dwarf was ever anything. I assume you are referring to Lenny Henry ? I can see past colour and do not care in a work of fiction so much when a black actor plays what is seen as a white role. I do however care when it is a real person ie Anne Boleyn
Tolkien's description of a Hobbit notice the slightly pointed ears
Quote:
I picture a fairly human figure, not a kind of 'fairy' rabbit as some of my British reviewers seem to fancy: fattish in the stomach, shortish in the leg. A round, jovial face; ears only slightly pointed and 'elvish'; hair short and curling (brown). The feet from the ankles down, covered with brown hairy fur. Clothing: green velvet breeches; red or yellow waistcoat; brown or green jacket; gold (or brass) buttons; a dark green hood and cloak (belonging to a dwarf).
