middle earth always had dark skinned races of people, dwarves included. this was the big angry mob on twitter on trailer release that started the narrative this wasnt true, then they got linked Silmarillion text and shut up.
Silmarillion wasn't written by Tolkien. It was written by his family from his notes.
The LoTR movie ofc, is a cheap imitation an inaccurate in many instances.
There were dark skinned races, but not any of those in the fellowship.
