You're all mental. It's a book with very little direct physical description. I don't have a horse in this race but Indian James makes perfect sense - a reasonable name, wife's dull family thought he was wild and horrible, green eyes, the 'wrong' kind of hair. What, you don't think Indian people can come from a classy background? Absolute fucking shit for brains.

Rowling might be a turd and she might have declared it retroactively, but the racelessness of Harry Potter makes at least as much sense as Homestuck, and in 2020 even the most committed racists aren't fighting that one.

I mean literally ANY ethnicity that is capable of producing green eye genes "makes perfect sense" and is equally valid. the issue isn't that Indian!James exists as a concept, the issue is that Indian!James is now considered essentially canon and if you don't consider Indian!James (and therefore Indian!Harry) to essentially be canon, and treat the concept as canon, people get extremely bent out of shape. White people who want to be seen as woke, specifically, get bent out of shape when someone doesn't consider Indian!James as essentially canon, in my experience.

For someone who claims to have no horse in this race, you seem very passionate about this.

Lmao

Considering that JK Rowling had to tell the movie director of the 1st film that Dean is actually black rather than writing that description in the book, this isn't really that farfetched.

Also I love how everyone has collectively for forgotten that Lavender Brown had changed race in the movie adaption between the early films and Half Blood Prince.

DA - lol, Lavender and the mysterious whitening effect of becoming a character with lines
