Yeah, even if you don't like Rowling there's that little fact that most wizards try to live completely separate from their non-magical fellows and consider themselves basically their own community, as per Rowling's own words. Hence why so many of them are absolutely baffled by the most mundane and common of Muggle shit (Mr. Weasley not knowing how Muggle money worked, the ministry of magic needing a report written on firearms that have existed for 200+ years, etc.) and it's fairly likely that they don't give a shit about the spats between Muggles. So when the Muggles in the Balkans are killing each other over a guy who got a bottle broken in his ass, the wizards in the Balkans are probably just trying to stay the fuck out of the way and mind their own shit.But that doesn't mean the wizards hate each other too tho. I'm not even a fucking HP fan but these people are so retarded, that I feel the urge to defend that shit. Even if it's badly written.
And Wizards absolutely have ways to keep you away from where they are. Hogwarts and the village of Hogsmeade, for instance, cannot be approached by Muggles without spells that compel them to find very good reasons not to go this way fucking with their heads. So a ton of them live away from their "countrymen" and do not read the regular newspaper.
And a great many of them simply blend in with the Muggles without interacting much with them. When you have apparition, invisibility cloaks, flue powder, and likely a dozen other ways to travel without needing to be seen leaving your front door, it's kinda easy to just be "That weird neighbor who minds his own business and we never see much." and apart from the community.
They're just reaching for reasons to call her a racist.
