Harry: And why aren't there almost any black students?

Dumbledore: Yeah, that... Well, there used to be many more diverse students at Hogwarts, but Merlin solved that issue.

@LukeAlmighty @matana I absolutely hate the people who smugly rebutt this with "It's just fantasy with dragons and magic. Why can't blacks exist in this world?". Are they just stupid or are they misdirecting on purpose?

@matrix @matana
They do it on purpose.
They don't care about the experience, and all they see is just another space on the chessboard of their little war.

I hate to be that guy, but some of them are really soulless.

@LukeAlmighty @matana It's not just SJWs using this argument though. It's also used by centrist types who want to distance themselves from the culture war.

@matrix @matana
But they do it for the exactly same reason.
They see no beauty, and want to use the lore only to get the culture to the place they like it.

@LukeAlmighty @matana But they often don't hold or push strong political positions. I think it's more due to their ignorance and the overton window being so left wing on social issues.
