jk rowling just sits around her multi million dollar home and thinks “how can i make my series more racist” and just goes out and does it. she’s so brave
jk rowling making nagini an asian woman in canon is really sending me. you made this asian lady the pet of a nazi inspired character and then had her beheaded by some cracker boy i-
yikesss 😬 it was probably racist from the start then considering it’s origin bc “nagini” is Indian and refers to women who can shape shift into snakes (there was a popular Indian movie from the 90s with the title) and naga/nagin in general means female snakes BUT I just thought she named it that bc the snake was a female and she wasn’t creative enough to pick something else I didn’t know she was about to go Deluxe Racism.
and then 10 years later to have an east asian play her in the live action is SO funny to me like NOT that I Want this Garbage but even with all her Years of practice she can’t even do racism right lmfao

There will be a lot of homophobes in your life who won’t openly hate you. They’ll instead wait for a reason to hate you that is more socially acceptable in their circle.
not to hijack tbh, but this kind of like ‘secret’ homophobia applies to racism too – people won’t discriminate against you for shit they know they can’t get away with, but the minute they find anything else. not all bigots are stupid enough to give that shit away – the truly insidious ones find ways to discriminate without actually playing into MAGA style discrimination and bigotry
