Anyone have that screencap describing the future of Harry Potter, where miscegenation has caused wizards and witches to be unable to practice magic any more, and the leading Hogwarts intellectuals call it a social construct?

>>7463794
no shit racism is a major theme of that series. are you literally retarded? the bad guys want to cleanse the wizard word from dirty blood, leaving only clean wizards left. you must be a literal retard to not see this connection
