The idea of race as we understand it doesn’t exist in LOTR, just as it didn’t exist during medieval times
Tolkein himself was firmly in a racist society and there’s nothing i know of to indicate he acknowledged concepts of race weren’t immutable constructs. his contemporaries in history academia would be going off about teutonic races and asiatics—how we think of history in regards to race was constructed post-Tolkien, or at least after he’d written the books.
Beyond this, you can make a convincing argument all that preoccupation with blood & lineage and the reduction of pure pedigree (numenoreans / elves) through miscegenation is clear racial framing.
