I think the greater travesty here than claiming some Umbarim had Numenorean Blood is that the assumption that Umbar was a functioning society with a government. 'Cities and even coalitions run by pirates are tumultuous, chaotic, and largely impotent. You may claim that they sent ships Northward with the aim of participating in Pelennor Fields, but what is far more likely and far 'more realistic is that these ships aren't an organized expeditionary force, but a loose coalition of raiders siezing the chance to raid Gondor while it was occupied, taking momentary courage in Sauron's summons.

If the mod team goes down the route of making Umbar some sort of "Pirate Kingdom" with a functioning government and a Black Numenorean population, rather than the chaotic, backwards harbour of only loosely cooperating raiders it is said to be in Lore(With real world examples backing this up), I will be sorely disheartened.
