so to avoid appropriation you just write out the superimposing white colonialist ideas of discovering a "new world", as human settlement don't count until it's a white dude?

sorry, but it's more problematic to not try, even if we are used to this narrative.

"Though European explorers called it ‘the New World’ when they first reached the continent, wizards had known about America long before Muggles (Note: while every nationality has its own term for ‘Muggle,’ the American community uses the slang term No-Maj, short for ‘No Magic’). Various modes of magical travel – brooms and Apparition among them – not to mention visions and premonitions, meant that even far-flung wizarding communities were in contact with each other from the Middle Ages onwards.

The Native American magical community and those of Europe and Africa had known about each other long before the immigration of European No-Majs in the seventeenth century. They were already aware of the many similarities between their communities."

Literally the opening paragraphs of the article. WTF are you even on about.
