Today, Tumblr has taught me that not only is JK Rowling a raging transphobe (and a transmisogynist!), she is also a racist and anti-semite too!
A list of JK Rowling’s egregious racism:
1) Using Native American culture as inspiration for the American wizarding school.
2) Making all the bankers goblins! ( When I saw those goblin bankers, I never associated them with Jews. The fact that these troons made that association yet insist that JK is the racist is fucking incredible.)
3) The east asian character is named “Cho Chang” and is in Ravenclaw, the intellectual house.
4) How she treats all her characters of color?
