Yes, the new Amazon show, the Lord of the Rings, the Rings of Power has a diversity problem.

A ton of people are talking about it so let's cut through some of the noise.

There are many problems with the Rings of Power, be it the lack of stakes or depth of character regarding Galadriel,

the lack of a sense of wonder or awe in the lore or universe that we experienced in the Peter Jackson films...

the fact that Amazon owned IMBD curb-stopped bad reviews thereby negating the value of that aspect of their website...

but the biggest issue, because it's the most contentious and the easiest to monetize is the racial issue.
