Hobbit population was isolated for hundreds of years in the north-west corner of Middle-Earth. As a result, they were a homogeneous people who were at the most suntanned from all the farming the "working class" hobbits did. Also, The shire was the only place in the world where hobbits were decribed as living during the events of The Hobbit and LotR. That means the only stray immigrants would not have even been hobbits.



Personally, I wouldn't like to be "represented" by a token minority in any movie or other work.
