I've seen an interview with Nichelle Nichols..
Uhura..
She wasn't going to take the part until her mother urged her to do it. Her mother pointed out that she would be almost unique on TV at the time. A black woman playing a non cliche role.
As for LOTR, I read it when there were graffito scrawled around that said "Frodo lives", color never entered my mind.
Ever see the ST episode where there are two aliens who hate each other? Both are half black and half white, just mirror images of each other. But they both hate the other in a mindless show of bigotry.
