I dont like coming out to bat for jk rowling at the best of times but just an observation. Edinburgh- where she wrote all of the books, and Scotland in general- there are basically like 10 black people in the entire country. It's ludicrous how white Scotland is.

There's a decent chunk of Indian and Pakistani folk but very, very few black people. There was exactly one black person in my entire high school.

So whatever the movies excuse, I can somewhat see how she might just have not written black characters in because of that.

You and I know that you just made a ridiculously weak attempt to justify racism. There is absolutely nothing written about these characters that are attached to the color of their skin. Literally ANY main character could have been made a person of color and the meaning and themes in the movies wouldn't have changed.

But I expect more ridiculous attempts from you and others to justify racism. Have at it.
