Sauron had allegiance with many of the Northman who lived in Rhovannion. The geodemographics of Tolkien are really no more than a lingering influence of his earlier work on the Book of Lost Tales, which was written specifically as a new native 'mythology' for Britain; the most north-westerly region of Europe. When working on the Silmarillion the intent and methodology of the writing was decidedly different (if you don't believe me ask Micheal Martinez) he still retained the geography of his original legendarium. To imply a racist intent is absurd. Even if the forces of evil came exclusively from the South and East, which I have already demonstrated is not true, so what? The odds are 50-50 that one of those directions would be chosen. By all probability at least one would have been used no matter what.
Regardless, your examples are false. Morgoth resides in the North and draws forces from there; Sauron draws men from the Northern tribes of Rhovannion, the realm of Angmar is full of wild North-Men... do your homework before you make such an accusation.
