"I think that YOU did oveact[sic]." - No, when someone makes an accusation of racism, it shouldn't be taken lightly.

Your thinking (i.e., or *questioning* as one does when burrowing into weasel territory) that there is "...some trace on(of) racism in it" refering to Tolkien's books and Jackson's films is a very serious allegation. I'm glad that you've decided to look a little harder; Tolkien's books and now the films are highly revered for their simple heroic message and the comraderie of the mythical races joining together to defeat a great evil. Reading more into the characters and storyline than that risks placing subjective interpretations on the material that is less in keeping with the concept of the author/filmmakers than the imagination of the book's/film's critics.
