Everyone is a lil bit racist in Harry Potter!
If we all could just admit,
That Harry Potter is racist a little bit
Even though we all know that its wrong
Maybe it would help us in this fandom, get along!


A thread is started on FictionAlley asking "Is Harry Potter racist?"


Things are decent, until(Dun Dun DUNNNNN!)


Cue regensburg on page 4:



On the blacks in HP:

They are all sellouts. They might as well be white. They date white kids, they are friends with white kids, they have no visible or unique culture. Besides names and occasionally hairstyles. Oh, and the Patil twins wore might have worn Saris once, unless that was a movie thing. Holy ****. How typical. Non-whites are only really accepted when they are totally assimilated into white culture. No wonder the WW doesn't have a problem with them.


So no matter what your ethnicity is in Harry Potter, the book is full of emo white folks, just like Fandom Wank! *does the wave*




On Cho Chang:

Holy **** "Cho Chang" is the most racist piece of **** name you could give an Asian girl. Why not call her "Ching Chong"? You know she was thinking it. FOR SHAME. I like Cho otherwise, I guess you need a super racist name to balance the fact that she actually got personality. "Cho Chang" indeed. I can't believe none of you bitches actually brought it up. White kids get names that kind of link with mythology and culture, Cho gets some made up piece of **** that sounds like "Ching Chong". That's just sad.


Yeah I can't believe you bitches didn't bring this shit up! Didn't you know mofo's? There's Snakes on a muthafuckin Plane!



encantada responds:

Again, entirely opinion. And very prejudiced too, if you really are of the opinion that any people 'of color' who are willing to associate with 'whites' are 'sellouts'. That's some of the most prejediced, indeed, racist crap I've ever heard.

I would like to think there is a middle ground between not associating with any whites and not associating with any other non-white characters. Right now, they are all either sidekicks or cumdumps for more important white characters.


Dean Thomas/Jenna Jameson=OTP? Why didn't somebody tell me? :(




*I haven't read all the pages in the thread so I probably missed some wankery, but from what I skimmed things were decent and good points were made, could be wrong though!


ETA: Regensburg has shown up several times, informing us that he's tired of all these damn snakes.
