why does it bother people that harry ron and hermione are white? jfc

[(Anonymous)]

why does slash exist for straight characters

[(Anonymous)]

I mean...would it really bother you if they weren't?

[(Anonymous)]

If Rowling had written it as such, no

Because everyone is now obsessed with representation, even at the expense of characters and good stories. And because most Americans know squat about the culture of the UK, Hermione has to be black to experience racism. Also totally missing that being muggleborn was a big metaphor for Jewish people during World War II and Jews are a mostly a pale bunch but whatever.

Excuse you, I'm not pale, I'm translucent.

Apologies, dear sir or madam.

I don’t think imagining characters in HP as non-white damages the characters or stories any. I wouldn’t have enjoyed the story any less (or more) if the Weasleys had all been Jamaican immigrants or whatever.

[(Anonymous)]

The AYRT didn't say anything remotely like that.

I wouldn't have minded at all if Hermione, Ron, and/or Harry had a racial or ethnic background that was not Celtic and/or Anglo Saxon but JK Rowling never intended that that be the case while developing and writing the books. All of them are white as snow. I don't think it hurts to headcanon Hermione as black or mixed. In the case of Harry, it's totally nonsensical and even ridiculous to me to try and make him non white but for Hermione it does make more sense. What "hurts" is pretending that Hermione simply is black or mixed and if you don't agree, you're obviously a racist. It's just race baiting from joyless assholes who need to ruin everyone's fandom experience to show off how morally superior they are.
