Actually, Tolkien was born in South Africa and spent his very early childhood there. There is a letter Tolkien wrote to his son where he complains about the racism in that country at the time. Anyone reading the letter can see that Tolkien was not a racist man. However, he was not, thankfully, a politically correct writer either.
