How unoriginal can you get? Even "Eragon" is ripped off from the common mispronunciation of "Aragorn". I'm not going to judge the plot (since most of these hero stories are structured the same), and because I haven't read it, but the author could at least use half-original names. How do you know that he even had that in mind? That's like saying Tolkien is sexist because of Eowyn. Saying Tolkien is sexist is like saying MLK is racist, some of his most powerful charectors where female! Let me tell you some Varda, Luthien, Eowyn, Yavanna, Melian, Galadriel, Elwing, Idril, and more.

I just saw the warriors and healers part Eragon scares me now. Actually a lot of them have the same personality. I mean come on, Melian and Galadriel are the same. Luthien, Arwen, Idril and Elwing are pretty much the same. Varda and Yavanna pretty much don't do anything. (Though I do find Yavanna's story quite interesting.) I don't think it detracts from the series, just pointing it out. Eowyn's the only really awesome female character, and she pales in comparison to all the male ones. Plus your analogy doesn't make sense as MLK was a black person who campaigned for equal rights, while Tolkien was male, and didn't campaign for equal rights... Besides, Eragon has Saphira, Arya, and Nasuada, characters who are all awesome and actually get developed as the series go on.
