I absolutely agree with this. If the James/Harry racebending was done in a way that actually leaned into the social and cultural history of the UK and its Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi community, I'd actually be really interested to read that. But I get the feeling that most of this racebending is done by white Americans who have no fucking clue about UK social culture.

I read a James/Lily fic that did good work with this. They explained their early relationship as two people between worlds.

In the Wizarding World James is a rich pureblood and Lily is a Mudblood diluting his bloodline.

In the Muggle world Lily is a proper girl and James is an unworthy Pakistani diluting her culture.

Of course the author then deleted it.

I've said it elsewhere, but I actually like racebending and stuff like that, but only when it's used to explore interesting new ideas - like whether an aggressive white character would be so aggressive if they were black, or whether a socially incompetent character would be so awkward if they were female. The ways that social expectations influence a person's upbringing and development. That's interesting.
"Make them brown for Representation" isn't.
