Magic is to most people -- at least during the Third Age -- a mysterious and fabulous power, whereas the ones who wield it are often considered dangerous and evil.

Since the first time their leaders were brought to Valinor, they have been studying magical powers from the Valar and the Maiar, mostly those concerned with artifact creation (the Noldor) or the coexistence with nature (the Sindar).

When people read racism into The Lord of the Rings, they usually point towards the foot-soldiers of Evil – primarily the hideous Orcs and goblins, who are generally dark-skinned and narrow-eyed, although they are described in a multitude of other ways, all of which attempt to convey an evil, malformed, "ruined" breed of creatures.

 Dummies::Exploring the Diverse Lands of Middle-earth
Midden-erde (or erthe), however, is good old Middle English for "middle-earth." As Tolkien pointed out, it hails from an earlier form, middangeard, which literally means the "middle yard" in Old English or Anglo-Saxon, the language Tolkien taught at Oxford University.
To the north lies the Ice Bay of Forochel, and beyond that is the frozen Northern Waste; to the east is Rhûn, populated by the barbaric Easterlings.
Viewed from this perspective, you can start to understand how the peoples of Tolkien's Middle-earth perceive their lands as being encircled by limiting forces, some of which are hostile.

During the Third Age, the Valar sent five Maiar to Middle-earth to unite and counsel the Free Peoples in their struggles against Sauron, the Dark Lord.
However, they were forbidden to dominate the peoples of Middle-earth or to match the power of Sauron with power.
In this case, the character stops working for the cause of the Free Peoples (at least for a while)-much as Radagast was corrupted by the physical nature of Middle-earth (i.e., he went "native").

However Melkor’s greatest achievement was the corrupting of the hearts of all peoples of Middle-Earth with evil in its many forms so that his legacy would live on long after his departure from Arda.
