The Mirrorball Man has just left Hobbiton.

Well, he did put quite a lot of focus on "evil dark skinned people" and "purity of blood", maybe too much for comfort. But I see that more as the byproduct of an era than as the evil personality of a man. If Tolkien was racist, he wasn't significantly more racist than other personalities of his time.
