"Hate" to nitpick, but in LotR and the letters Sauron is described embodied at the time of LotR.

Right on point; I fail to see why a bad guy needs to conform to the norm. After all, the very position of "bad guy" demonises him and probably also what he stands for. On the other hand, censoring oneself due to whatever legislation is stupid, because you would have to avoid
all possible groups that would be offended - right?
