Googling around, I’ve seen a lot of users and journos claiming they are a jewish stereotype. I struggled to even compare them to what HP did. And as a partially jew, I’m really jealous of qualities these bigots paint and the thinking process Quark put to work. He’s probably my favorite character of the whole franchise.

    So because I don’t agree with you my options are

    1. I’m not a member of the culture I was born into
    2. I’m trolling
    3. I’m ignorant

    With allies like you, who needs enemies?

      Who said I was an ally? I’m just re-teaching what I’ve learned. I have no skin in this game.

      Assuming it’s not 1 or 2 then yes it’s 3. This isn’t an opinion conversation. It’s factual that those drawings were used in racist ways, that banking was used as a racist job, and that Rowling copied both. You can choose to not care, that’s an ok opinion. But you can’t have an opinion that says that facts aren’t facts.
