Apparently some non European people complained and Jackson compromised the material.

It's implied they were Asians and Middle Eastern but no nebrews.  They were men from the east.

The term Haradrim or Southrons was applies to a large number of very distinct peoples and tribes of southern Middle-Earth.In the closer sense it was used for the cultures of the Haradwaith, a large area which once had been under suzerainty of the kingdom of Gondor and was considered a royal province.The best known Haradrim were the northern Haruze while deep in the south widely varying tribes are found, among them the Black Barangil peoples (nebrews) of the Utter south who were often considered a culture distinct from the common Haradrim by many scholars.

Haradrim, also called in Westron the Southrons, were a race of Men from Harad in the region of Middle-earth directly south of Gondor.

Before that, in the First Age, the Atani from whom the Haradrim descended were known as Black Men, aka Neeguls, Hebrews and Neegars.

Yes, I concede.  You are correct. We are both nerds.
