Food for thought

There's no shortage of discourse concerning race and Amazon's just-released series, T he Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The program, which has premiered to largely favorable reviews, introduces characters of color to T olkien's stories - a move that has sadly led to a ton of backlash, even in what are normally lighthearted meme communities.
