Jackson changed a few things to fit into the movie structure, but loved and respected JRRT. He is quoted that he didn't want to put in any "modern" or "his own" messages.

			It is possible for a person to dislike this show and not care about sex or race of the characters.

			Yes, and not everyone who dislikes the show dislikes it for those reasons.

			I agree, mostly. But the complaint here was that it is foolish to change any of the writing.
