Good list.
Do you think it reflects Tolkien’s views as a middle-to-high Englishman?
Dwarves are Scots (live in the hills, direct, obsessed with money)
Hobbits are Welsh (well meaning but fat, rural, and insular)
“Men” are regular English
Orcs are dagos / Spaniards / Moors
The Elves are the old noble Arthurian Britons fading into history
