So now the Hobbits are Irish & the Dwarves Scottish?


They all have Irish accents. Happy simpletons covered in mud. I'm surprised they didn't have a pot of gold hidden under a rainbow, and were trying to find their lucky charms. Pretty insulting to the Irish when Peter Jacksons Hobbits/Dwarves had differing accents and didn't get plumped with one, basically taking us right out of middle earth and plopping them in our own reality.

And the Dwarves all have Scottish accents. I'm surprised Disa didn't give that posh Elf a Glasgee kees!

George Lucas did the same stereotype thing in the prequels.

What next, the Orcs start reciting NWA lyrics and talking in street slang, like the one Transformer that was supposed to be "black".

Don't tell me, Sauron is going to read out the Torah in Hebrew, and keep all the money to himself.

And they call others racist

Peter Jackson’s brother Samuel as an orc would be kinda rad.

Marsellus Orc:”I’m on the mutha fucka”
Jules Orc:”sheeeeit negro, that’s all you had to say”.

Irish/Scottish accents but black skin.

Makes sense.
