God damn, I can barely keep up with all the replies. I hope this catches them.

Are you seriously going to go with the Cartman/Kyle relationship as justification?
I'm going to go with it because it's a popular example of prejudiced stereotypes that I think are fairly uncommon otherwise.
Redryhno said:
Not to mention Aragorn is routinely mentioned as also being "dark."
So wait, we're talking about the books now instead of the movies?
Redryhno said:
To say that only dark-skinned people joined up with Sauron, or that only light-skinned people fought Sauron is so incredibly shallow that I can't believe anyone actually read the books these days and say that.
I can't believe it either, since no one in this thread has said that. You seem to have a lot of difficulty reading what I have written, Redrhyno, so please pay very close attention to the order in which I am writing these words for the third time now:
All the black people who appear in the Lord of the Rings are evil.
This sequence of words does not say all black-skinned people are evil. It does not all only black-skinned people are evil. It says the only black-skinned people we see are working for Sauron.
(Also, I can't be bothered to pull out the DVD and check, but I feel like at least some of the black dudes riding the elephants have bones through their noses.)

What is the simple question then?
I have asked you on multiple occasions, Redrhyno. You even reference it near the end of your post, though you're misquoting it and I assume that's part of why you can't understand it, not that it matters to me. If you seriously cannot comprehend by now that I am asking why people who insist her gender doesn't matter
keep bringing her gender up, then I do not believe you ever will, and I do not choose to spend my time repeating myself to you any further.
