Well, the basis of "Good" and "Evil" has always been "Dark" vs. "Light", but people constantly make the mistake of thinking that it is "Black" vs. "White", which it is not. I mean, why pick on Tolkien when he could go to almost any fantasy tale and see the same patterns. It's nothing to do with skin colors.
Let the guy have his stupid fun, if people get irritated then his purpose if fufilled. It's just something to get people worked up. Just don't care about... it's his beliefs, so let it stay with him.
