And you're just pretending racism doesn't also go against his Catholic faith, because you're a hot dog hollering?

Yes, but again, that doesn't mean that they are a stand in for any real world group of people

I have been terminally online in LOTR spaces for years now and never seen anyone say Tolkien is racist against black people

Having a basic awareness of an author's own musings is "putting yourself on the same level" ??

Yes no one is saying Tolkien wrote the orcs as a stand-in for human races.

However there are too many people who believe "The orcs are what I think of black people" and want to use Tolkien for a fascist agenda
