Eh. "Rowling was working as a researcher and bilingual secretary for Amnesty International when she conceived the idea for the Harry Potter series..."

Not like she was living and working surrounded by nothing but white people at all times. So who knows?

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, you don't know what ethnic make up her work colleagues were. I've spent my entire working life in offices in the UK and have yet to work with anyone black. And I've only worked with two people of asian ethnicity. Everyone else has been white. Outside of London and the centres of a few other big cities, the UK really is overwhelmingly white.

To be fair, you don't know, either, and being the bilingual secretary means there was a *reason* she needed a second language.

But, honestly, I'm not going to argue this, because when it comes down to it, i'm not in her mind any more than you are, and it's really an argument, to me, that resides in the poc community a lot more than in does in the white, because they are the people who, ultimately, decide if her explanation/justifications/whatever seem reasonable or tacked on to court/placate a certain audience.
