Dad notices the crime rate

My dad just looked over my shoulder and said, “Looks like the crime rate in The Shire is about to skyrocket”. I’m never talking to my father again. NEW - Amazon's upcoming "Lord Of The Rings" TV show will be multicultural (Black, Asian, Brown, and even Maori-types Hobbits), diverse, and "feature strong female characters," according to media reports.

A social media post shows someone joking that his father compares Amazon’s upcoming multicultural Lord of the Rings series to a rise in crime in the Shire. The punchline is the father’s reactionary interpretation of diversity casting, followed by the son’s exaggerated decision to never speak to him again. The image of Frodo looking shocked reinforces the disbelief and absurdity of the joke.
