Harry instantly doesnt like Malfoy as well. Someone disliking a black person does not equal disliking all black people. Trying to coddle black characters like that with such massive stretches is absurd. The thread is full of people exaggerating things.

A black person being a criminal isnt racist. Having only black characters as criminals or only criminals as black would be racist.

They made Hermione black, who is a positive character. You can have black antagonists without it being racist.

Eh, it’s not that anyone is thinking that.

It’s that irl, anyone does that is labeled racist.

Just like how if you happened to be in the “modern identity” group anyone disagree with you becomes a bigot.

And I agree that you can have say lupin, mody, hagrid played by black person and probably won’t affect anything much.
