Harry Potter has a character called Seamus Finnigan, his whole thing is to act like he’s drunk and blow things up. (It’s a stereotype in England that Irish people make cars into bombs and are literally domestic terrorists)
And if you look into the extended lore, well ya know how Hogwarts bizarrely has a house intended for Dark Wizards (Why is that a thing? I don’t remember “Serial Killing” being a major in Community College) named for the most second evil wizard in history (The first was Grindelwald who… wanted to stop the Nazis), Salazaar Slytherin.
If you look into the backstory of Salazaar Slytherin, he doesn’t really have any evil deeds to his name, he’s just Irish lol.
Also JK Rowling’s house elves are based on “Brownies”, stories Slave Owners would tell their children about how black people were “Really magic faeries who like working” and will “Disappear forever if you give them nice things”
Basically lying to children so they don’t realize their parents are “the baddies”
She’s a disgusting person.
I wanna give a shout out to Kingsley Shacklebolt (First name is King, as in Dr. Martin Luther KING Jr., last name is literally a tool from the 1800’s used to keep slaves from jumping off of slave ships), who’s contribution to the series is being black, trying to arrest Dumbledore on false charges, and here’s my favorite being afraid of Voldemort’s quest to kill off the Mudbloods because he… Doesn’t know who his father is and thus cannot verify that he isn’t muggleborn…
Jesus fucking Christ JK, this is almost as bad as when you assumed Alohamora meant “Friendly to thieves” because it’s from an African Language (It actually just refers to the color red)
