When I saw RotK, that's what I thought, Steve. He showed some Haradrim as brown-skinned and he showed the Corsairs as Asians, but he didn't make *all* of them as such (Although there was only one shot of the Corsairs). It was another way PJ compromised between hard-core book fans and common movie fans. Har-core book fans might well've wanted all the Haradrim to have darker skin than the regular cast, but common movie goers might've been very offended. He kept both sides happy, imo.
