Description
Disa is gifted the gift of meeting her descendants. Disclaimer - I don't own Tolkien's Middle Earth, nor do I own Disa from The Rings of Power. When I first saw Disa, I thought - cool, a princess from Harad. And then - then I learned she was a Dwarf, and I connected the name Disa to Dis and thought to myself, "So wait, Thorin, his sister, and his nephews are Black now? I thought this was supposed to be a prequel to the trilogy?" It's not a prequel, though, but now that I know where she fits in - I realized that seven of the thirteen Dwarf companions now have Black ancestry. And Gimli now has Black ancestry. And Dain now has Black ancestry. And I dug a little further and realized that three more of the Dwarves could be traced to the line of Durin, so ten of the thirteen companions now have Black ancestry, not just seven. This in turn would mean the Dwarves would represent Black people unfairly imprisoned by white people even though they were trespassing, and Gimli and Legolas' friendship would become all about how the white Elf is wrong for being prejudiced against the Black Dwarf. And I know I'm thinking way ahead, but this is something I don't want. But supposedly because I'm not white, this is what I'm supposed to want? Nope.
