    The art isn’t the problem

    Yeah, it’s not like you have anything like

    • Two Indian characters named after the region they’re supposed to be from
    • Stereotypically named Irish character obsessed with blowing stuff up and making alcohol
    • An Asian character named “cho chang”
    • Bankers that are barely disguised anti-Semitic tropes
    • Literally a tweet saying only “Anthony Goldstein, Ravenclaw, Jewish wizard.” in response to accusations of no Jewish wizards
    • Naming the black adult “Shacklebolt”

        Yeah, that’s my only explanation for that kind of a name for a black person. Whether or not it was intentional, I have to assume she’s massively racist, as are all of her editors/publisher. Too many people has the opportunity to say ‘what the fuck, lady’, and it still went to print.
