(Anonymous) 2020-10-24 11:32 am (UTC)(link)Get a reality check and realize I'm talking 'bout fictional wizards, in a fabricated environment. If you are so obsessed to figure why deliberate Muggle racism matters more than established continuity.
If you expect every Indian!Harry story should devolve into racism... then perhaps you should look at yourself first before you judge the people who write said stories without the boatloads of angst and racism you both expect and then hate them for.
It's one thing to disagree with a canon rational interpretation, but it's a whole 'nother to be offended by the very idea of Harry being half Indian. It's a genuine identification. It changes nothing- Harry it still treated like absolute shit by Vernon, the level of which is a direct result of bigotry. Hiding him away under the cupboard, assaulting him on the swing as he mourns Cedric's death- all of it enforces the idea that more than just being a wizard, that they were trying to hide his ethnicity as well.
The insistence that racism of this type should proceed unto fictional realms, into a wizardry society that already has its bigotry laid out on a fucking plate, via the purity of bloodmagic- is the most racist sentiment of all.
You people /insist/ that there is no way a fictional society could every look at Harry other than his skin colour. It's both pathetic and racist as all hell. On his own Harry is seen simply as an object, an ideal- 'the boy who lived'. He's more fantasy than human in the wizarding world and treated worse than dirt in the muggle...
So tell me how /EXACTLY/ your prejudice fits into a story where canon events already circumnavigated whatever arguments you think you still have left? Really.
