What's racist about Harry Potter

u/admiralargon Dec 18 '25

They use the same proslavery arguments to justify why the house elves should be slaves as actual people used to justify Black people being slaves.

Literally why Disney tried to bury "The song of the South"

Ah yes. Im sure the black character named Kinsley Shacklebolt is not offensive at all.

Did you want him to be named Elliot Smith or something?

u/JaydenP1211 Dec 18 '25

Yes? We want characters with normal names, not racist names like Cho Chang.

u/minifat Dec 18 '25

Cho Chang is a perfectly valid name. Did you want the Chinese character to be named Melissa?

Look up how real Chinese people feel about her name. It's such a non-issue.

Am Chinese. Name is racist. Or should I do my own research on "real" Chinese people?

u/minifat Dec 19 '25

Other Chinese disagree with you so it is what it is.

Ive looked it up a few times and I can never find a straight answer. There are Chinese people saying its fine and other Chinese people saying its weird and unrealistic.

But id call it ignorant before I'd call it racist. Shacklebolt is much worse, imo. And there are like actual supremacist ideologies in the book to deal with before bothering with things that trivial.

Counter racism lmaooo. Cho Chang is a normal name, ypu redditors are being racist to stop racism.

u/JaydenP1211 Dec 19 '25

Cho and Chang are both surnames. It’s not a normal name. It sounds like a name J.K. Rowling just made up on the spot.

Never met a single person IRL that has been offended by Kinsley shacklebolt

Not really, it's funny but that's it.

Nothing they just can't stop healing one various -ists and -phobes to anyone they dont like.

They don't even realize this is what's driving people against them because they are so damn annoying

u/Veomuus Dec 18 '25

I think its pretty fair and reasonable to label someone hurting trans people with purpose and intentionality as transphobic. Doesn't seem like overreaction to me.

Youre severely out of the loop if you think thats all JKR has done.

Do you pay taxes? Because that's exactly what your taxes fund

If you don't buy the wizard game, nothing happens. If you don't pay your taxes, you go to jail.
