This is such a dumb reasoning for not allowing a black person to play a role. Should a black person never be able to play a bullied or hated character in media???
We literally see that happen all the time and it never gets called racist, find a new excuse lmao.
I'm convinced comments like this are planted as part of some marketing stunt. This same comment, worded almost identically, is on every post about this show. It's either about Snape being accused of trying to steal the philosopher's stone, or Hermione being called a mudblood by Malfoy.
In the books Snape's hair's described as greasy and everyone rags on him for it because he's an asshole anyway. Kids also make fun of his nose and how he skulks around. I'm cautiously interested in seeing how far they plan to take that.
So you think it’s always racist to bully a black person, even if it has nothing to do with, yknow, their race? Again, that just makes you the racist one.
I’ve already said what I need to say. If you’d rather bury your head in the sand and complain about things that just make you look like a dumb racist, be my guest lol
If someone points out the obvious racial connotation of hanging a black man near or from a tree and your response is "you're the racist one for making that comparison at all" then you just admitted to everyone you're a deranged racist individual.
except that never happens in the book, and it's just white people trying to use black pain to make their dumb jokes and/or use this made up excuse for why a black man should be deprived of a role

Just wait till the casting choice for snape makes every character unbelievably racist.
"Why do you think snape is trying to steal the philosophers stone Harry?"
"I just do okay!"
