Sure bud.

Source: LotR, Tolkien's statements on the matter, basic literacy.

"No, in fact Tolkien said the exact opposite. Jews are based on dwarves."

See how that works when you don't actually provide a source? To be honest, I have no idea if Tolkien based the races of Middle Earth on human peoples, and would've liked to learn if he did. But instead of actually teaching me something, I'm left here with intellectual blue balls, so thank you for a wonderful start to Locktober.

Read a book, dork. Or spend five seconds on Google or your search engine of choice researching something there is quite a lot of commentary on, especially in regards to Jewish stereotypes and the Dwarven language.
