Can the book be considered rascist?

[Baran]

Thanks for all the anwers, here comes more to work on!

I think this is an very important topic to discuss, and remember I ask questions, I'm not making statements.

When I ask can Tolkien be considered rascistic I talk about men, White and Non-white, not the Dwarves and Elves, keep this in mind.

If Non-white people alway is described as evil beings, and easy to corrupt, is this rascicm? Or should Toliens work be considered a myth of Europe, where white people linger, and where in war with their neighbors, who happened to be dark skinned because they came from the South. It can't be considered rascicm to describe the facts, like it's not rascicm when the newspaper tells about a white boy being shot down by Three black boys. But still, in Tolkiens work, (I've read LOTR, SILM, and the Hobbit) I am yet to find a Non-white man doing a noble act. intentional?

When Elves or white men do evil, they are corrupted by Evil powers, where non-white born evil, would they've be evil without Sauron to influence them, or would the (as example) Haradrims be an potential trading place for Gondor whitout Sauron to corrupt them?

And Sams quote from 'Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit' didn't he ask the same question I just did? He didn't answer it, he merely asked if the Black Haradrims where evil, like the orcs, or if they deep down had their own soul.

And most Disturbing: The Pure Blood lines of the Numenors and the kings, who shuold not mix with lesser people? And gruops of people fading from their former greatness because they mixed their pure blood. You'll find enough examples of this in the LOTR.

Please don't attack me, I just ask the uncomfortable questions, and don't attack the questions, answer them.
