The women of "The View" believe that people who don't like the new Amazon
series "Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power" and the "Game of Thrones" spinoff
"House of the Dragon" are just racists.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg took the lead in calling out detractors, claiming
critics had a problem with black actors in the casts. She reminded them that
the fantasy shows are fiction and reiterated that both "are not real" and
"there are no dragons, there are no hobbits."

"Are you telling me black people can't be fake people, too?" Goldberg said.
"I don't know if there's, like, a hobbit club, I don't know if there are
gonna be protests. But people: What is wrong with y'all?"

"What I think is fascinating is like, dragons are OK, fire-breathing dragons,
and people with white hair that are born like that when they're little, and
violet eyes, but the black people in it is just a bridge too far for these
folks," panelist Sunny Hostin chimed in.

"The View" newbie Alyssa Farah Griff said anyone leaving negative comments
should "get a hobby."

"It's just racist. Call it what it is," Joy Behar said.

Goldberg predicted that viewers would be equally opposed to the upcoming
live-action remake of Disney's "The Little Mermaid" because that movie has a
black lead. As for "Rings of Power" reviewers, she says they should focus
their attention on something else.

"All of y'all who have problems because there are black hobbits? Get a job!"
she said. "Get a job! Go find yourself, because you are focused on the wrong
stuff."

However, evidence suggests that most of the negative reviews of "Rings of
Power" have little to do with adding diversity to the cast. The backlash got
so intense that Amazon suspended user reviews for the first 72 hours,
claiming critics were "review bombing" the series.

Many negative comments mention clunky dialogue, a lack of depth, and bad
acting, but don't take issue with the skin color of any actors. Even the
detractors give credit for beautiful sets and scenery. However, they're
saying the storytelling leaves a lot to be desired.

"The writing is terrible, it is unfathomably dull and nearly unwatchable
altogether. Rocks look down? Ridiculous. Lazy. I had a hard time staying
awake and will likely give the rest of it a pass," one Rotten Tomatoes
reviewer wrote. "It's just not connective or interesting or even related to
the LotR except in some ham handed attempt to be 'like' it."

"How can so much money end up in such a disastrous production? The only
achievement here is the set. Everything else, costumes, acting, dialogues,
script is horrendous. It turns out that money alone cannot buy talent; it
cannot even buy quality, apparently," another person shared.

No, people are opposed to these things because they get the sense that
the only reason the movie is being remade is to put black people in
roles that were originally played by whites.

They don't spend their time making *new* movies with black leads; they
remake old movies and race-change all the roles.

Another reason I suspect they like to race-change roles and put blacks
into storylines like this is insurance against their expensive show
flopping. If it does, they can just write it off to "racist audiences"
in the face of their own bravery in casting minorities, even when those
audiences don't mention racial issues at all in their reviews:

REVIEWER: God, the acting was horrible, the dialogue lame, and the plot
predictable.

STUDIO: See? Racism!

Which is, itself, intesenely racist, since it is based on the
deeply held belief that non-white actors playing non-white
characters can't succeed.

If we're lucky, that all they change.

Yeah, it's perfectly natural that in a medieval-type society where
bloodlines are of utmost importance, Negroes will be welcome to marry
into noble families and produce mulatto children who will at least be
seriously considered to marry the King in order to produce a mulatto
male heir. History tells us that's the way such societies worked, right?

Who cares what that decidedly NOT charming Negress thinks? I certainly
do not.

In point of fact I stand firmly opposed to diversity, inclusion, and
social justice. Inserting gratuitious Negroes in situations where they
would not normally be found just for the sake of showing them is
ludicrous. These damned diversity laws have to go.
