The cast of 'Rings of Power' have released a statement condemning the racist backlash to the series.
The adaptation of a famous piece of literary work like the books of J.R.R Tolkien is certain to evoke a ton of emotion and rightly so, the otherworldly realms of Middle-earth and Valinor give a feel comparable to very few fantasy tales. However, in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, the latest adaptation of the British writer’s work by Prime Video, the emotion evoked in the heart of supposedly die-hard fans of Tolkien has been condemnable.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY They reiterated that our world and Middle-earth have never been all white before and as such BIPOC people are here to stay in Middle-earth. Here is her statement in part: JRR Tolkien created a world which, by definition, is multi-cultural. A world in which free people from different races and cultures join together, in fellowship, to defeat the forces of evil. Rings of Power reflects that. Our world has never been all white, fantasy has never been all white, Middle-earth is not all white. BIPOC belong in Middle-earth and they are here to stay.
Clark is yet another voice speaking up in support of the diverse cast of the new series. Whoopi Goldberg also spoke recently on the issue asking these disgruntled fans “What is wrong with y’all?” Wondering why people would accept fantastical worlds and not accept Black people playing roles in them, Goldberg added “All of y’all who have problems because there are Black hobbits… Get a job! Get a job! Go find yourself, because you are focused on the wrong stuff.
