JK Rowling’s transphobia casts and inescapable shadow over the new Harry Potter adaptation.

is endorsing race based slavery.

Wouldn't something similar affect most of Fantasy? In TLoTR there are many races that are evil, with no redeeming qualities whatever. The race makes them evil, endorsing some racists ideas too.

I actually don't like most fantasy, but Lord of the Rings is a bad example of that. Most of the races are not evil, but had evil or faulty leadership. The Uruk-hai weren't a natural race, but a corruption created by Sauron.

Most fantasy that do have evil races are descended from D&D, which has self described, biological determinist, Gary Gygax to blame.
