Wait till you find out that Tolkien was also a racist
Wait till you find out how may people born in 1892 were racist
Not-racists did exist at the time. Would be cool if Tolkien was ahead of the curve, but it's not going to diminish his legacy if we criticize him a little.

Che Guevera hated gay people
Shh... you're not allowed to point out racist and sexist themes in LOTR because as everyone knows, 'being a product of its time' absolves it of any modern criticism and saying otherwise makes you a woke DEI snowflake.
