In Middle-Earth, it is the slimy, cowardly figures who cause all of the problems in the world, which is why there is no worthy opponent for the men, elves, and dwarves to fight. Orcs are disgusting things that kill each other for a shirt. The men of Harad and Rhun were convinced that Sauron was a Eru-esque god and were twisted over the ages. Therefore, Middle-Earth was far more black and white than any place, despite Gandalf's philisophical words.
