I agree with Olorin. The Haradrim that falls in front of Sam looks pretty dark skinned to me. <P>I think there was an attempt to make the Easterlings and Southrons of no definable culture, while still making them look foreign. I believe it was the right call because as soon as you are watching the film thinking, "that guy looks African and he looks like he's from the Middle East," the you've left the world of the film.<P>H.C.
