Granted, we may be having some minor language misunderstanding, but it's hard to miss your inference about racism being in both films and books. No offense, but the only "asking" you've done is in regard to trying to assess whether there's a consensus to your existing opinion.

You must have really missunderstand me..I never read his books.
But I would really have the opinion of Berbardo as he seems to have read a lot about it!
Any way and that was the starting point the films did leave me a bitter after taste regarding this problems.
That why I was asking myself loudly...what it really was...
You stated (and I quote): "When I saw the films I always felt uncomfortable about some sous-adjacent (under-lying?) racism and wrote so in my comment of LOTR III. Now I know why! The author was a great admirer of Generalissimo Franco..."There you have it! You've indicated that the films convey an underlying racism and the fault lies with the author's books. How could this be interpreted otherwise?
Yes and ? I was just been conforted in my suspicion and was glad to hear that I was not the only one who may think this way: The journalist wrote..He was an Franco admirer and loved the " Herren race "..
So, now that this has turned righly so, to a bigger problem, I will do my best to make me a stronger opinion.
If you may read above the Bernardo letter and my answer to it, you will see that we are seriously pushing the envellope.
But will we ever find out?
