""The dwarves of course are quite obviously - wouldn't you say that in many ways they remind you of the Jews? Their words are Semitic obviously, constructed to be Semitic.""

Tolkien actually always got pissed when people tried to draw parallels between his fantasy races and real life human races or insinuate that there was a connection. Mediocre b8 I'm sure you'll get a few plebs to bite.

Tolkien himself compared Dwarves to Jews:

""The dwarves of course are quite obviously - wouldn't you say that in many ways they remind you of the Jews? Their words are Semitic obviously, constructed to be Semitic.""
― J.R.R. Tolkien[5]
One may interpret this comment in many ways. It should be noted that he only made an explicit connection between the dwarf-language Khuzdul to Semitic languages. In another letter, he makes the same comparison, but this time it is explicitly about both peoples being dispossessed of their lands, forced to wander the world, and adopt the languages of other lands: both were "at once natives and aliens in their habitations, speaking the languages of the country, but with an accent due to their own private tongue…" (Letter 176)

Throughout the books, Tolkien paints a mostly positive picture of the dwarves (Gimli of course is brave and honourable, and it is stated in one of the Appendices to The Lord of the Rings that "few Dwarves ever served the enemy willingly", contrary to the tales of Men) and elsewhere he made explicitly positive statements about the Jewish people.

However, one of the weaknesses of the Dwarves was their greed for gold and other riches, amplified by the Seven Rings. Some see a connection between this and the stereotype of the Jewish usurer. It is also possible to draw a connection between the bearded Dwarves and the beards of Orthodox Jews.

Tolkien has divine beings blessing or gifting peoples or persons and their descendants, having thus the concept of the chosen people who differ from others — in Tolkien's case, the Dunedain (literally "Men of the West") of Numenor. It should be also noted that according to Theosophy, Ariosophy and Nazism[6], the Aryan race is supposedly descended from Atlantis.[7]


pol btfo because their beloved fantasy series is jew fan fiction?

Humans are Anglo-Saxons
Elves are Scandinavians
Dwarves are Jews
Hobbits are...Irish?

Orcs are non-whites.

>>56587106

Yeah except he didn't, family. To be quite honest he openly compared them to human races. The Rohirrim are Saxons, Dwarves are Jews, Orcs are nigs (obviously), Elves are Nordics, Gondorians are (I believe) Central Europeans, and the Southrons are Arabs.

considering most of the dwarves were depicted as being dumb, hateful racists, i'd say you're the one who's btfo.

wonder how long your little country will last without america to protect you. :^)
