Films (I'm including television because they're very similar media) rarely pass the Bechdel test (two or more female characters must talk for at least one minute about something other than a male character). The assumption is that, unless there's a man involved, on one will care!

Check out this article on Cracked: http://www.cracked.com/article_20082_6-insane-stereotypes-that-movies-cant-seem-to-get-over.html. Or don't, since you'll table flip out of rage.

Holy shit. The Lavender Brown thing...HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

You sure were right about the table flip of rage. Christ on a fucking cracker. I want to kill everything.

If Lavender Brown is black, that would mean that all three of the Trio had their first romance with a person of colour or foreigner (Harry/Cho, Hermione/Viktor Krum, Ron/Lavender) then went on to get married to their true white love. Which is also icky.

[(Anonymous)]

I do see your point. Really, I think it's discomfiting in both respects: a character becomes white as soon as she gains importance; and the main white characters only have flings, not lasting relationships, with people of different races or nationalities.

There's just no winning, here.

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, Lavender IS described as white in the later books which is why they changed it.

I'm East Asian and the "our white guy is better than the natives who has been training all their lives" trope pisses me of so fucking much.

I know people who are blind and are productive members of society. There are blind people who use echolocation to navigate as well or better than non-blind people. The depiction of disabled=awkward pisses me off too.

Actually, everything in the article pissed me off. Imma get a beer >:|
