J.R.R Tolkein saw a fat acne faced teenager and started calling him Orcy the Porky. And the rest is history.

No, from either Asians or Eastern Europeans.

Orcs are servants of the Dark Lord, who rules the EASTERN lands.

Africans, meanwhile, come from the south. In fact, we do see Africans in the Lord of the Rings movies, and they aren't orcs.
