And NO, NO, I'm not saying that the Haradrim are too "Arabic" or too "African," I just find it odd that someone would complain about one faction being too "Chinese" while making peace with the other factions that have real-world elements. And how would you make a faction more "neutral" in any event? I was about to think this problem. And my thought is, however, to make it be like a mixture of Asian cultures. Maybe a bit Mongolian-like, a bit Chinese-like or some culture else. I complained about this problem because they are more "Chinese" than other cultures. Easterling Culture is less civilized than Chinese culture in the real world, and I can prondly say that Chinese culture is as beautiful as European culture. You should notice that Easterling culture is not so civilized in the book. (Compare it with Gondorian culture.) Maybe some Chinese will agree with me on this point.
