![]() To draw from a brief conversation I had with Shani Hilton on the subject, with Middle-Earth, Tolkien tried to create a native mythology (of sorts) for the people of the British Isles. Therefore it makes sense to have light-skinned Hobbits. Jamelle argues that basically Tolkien’s story is one of the British Isles, and that the mythological backdrop of Middle-Earth is taken from Nordic and British myth. I come down closer to Jamelle Bouie’s side of the Hobbit argument than Adam Serwer’s.
