I've got to agree. When he says "all fantasy is derivative of Tolkien," what he means is "I don't like fantasy, any fantasy, and never will," but he's either not really aware, or more likely, too polite to tell you that what you like to read is crap (in his opinion). If you provided irrefutable scientific proof that he is wrong (like showing him the hundreds of fantasy novels written before Tolkien put pen to paper), he'd just find a different excuse.
Give it up.
