WTF???????????

[legoline]

From here ... and please tell me they're kidding. It's a troll, right? RIGHT?

By Mystech: Yeah yeah and he and his friends run around calling people "Mud bloods" which, if I recall correctly, is very close to a slur actually used by American white supremacists.

Does Harry Potter express raciest views? Of course. Should J.K. Rowling be frowned upon for this? I don't think so. She's British, she just can't help it. . . its bred into them. She probably doesn't even know she's doing it, and it's not as if she's actually making any derogatory statements against any actual race, so really in the end who cares?


By android: There's nothing wrong, illegal, or unscientific about racial awareness and preferring your own kind. Bigotry I'm not so fond of, but only undermen equate the two.


by SCrow:Well, to go back to the original point about Harry Potter being a racist, the book certainly has some elements that could definatly be interpreted as Nazi related symbols. For example, Snape's initials are S.S. which relates to the Schutzstaffel from the holocaust. Another S.S. related point is Harry's scar, which looks alot like the tag in which the S.S. had on their uniform. I also agree with the original point of this arguement, that being the connection between the half-blood and pure-blood to Naziism. I agree it is just a book but there alot more to the book then justthe story.


And THEN they go round drawing comparisons to "Mein Kampf" by Hitler and act all smart-arsey...WTF???

And besides? Don't talk about stuff you don't have a clue about just because you've seen Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List you morons.

I almost feel offended by that rubbish. I live in the country that was ruled by Nazis and caused millions of deaths. Comparing Harry Potter to Mein Kampf is like a slap into my face.

I know...*sigh*

I dunno whether I should hit or pity that person...

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

Well, you can see which option I chose...

[legoline.livejournal.com]

I think I'll be right with you there.

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

Violence isn't always a bad thing! It can relieve stress AND clean up the gene pool all in one go!

Yes! I say we vote for violence... and if it clears up the gene pool there'll be none of those fans anymore, and we shall breed our own blond-haired generation of HP fans MWUAHAHAH ...look, I think those rassist books already have an inflence on me and I'm not even British...

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

Oh, racism isn't solely a British thing, we just specialise in it (apparently). Perhaps you've been spending too long around British people. There are too many British people on your flist! It's rubbing off on you, clearly.

[glorfinniel.livejournal.com]

But no! We don't specialise in it because the moment we say something remotely derogatory (whoever it is aimed at, and for whatever reason) they assume it's racism.

(And this is said simply as a fact - it seems a little ironic that Britain, as a nation, is supposedly rascist, when so many of the British citizens here aren't even from this country. Logical I think not! :))

*flails a bit* Yay! Political debating and whatnot!

You can't deny it you're racists...all of you!

I remember clearly how I was spit on and beaten up every time I went to Britain, I still suffer from the memories...

[glorfinniel.livejournal.com]

And so you should, you disgusting foreign scum! Just the thought of someone of not pure blood on our lands makes me feel ill!

....:-P

I really hope you know I'm joking :D

And the most ridiculous thing? WHy would be be rascist? We're all bloody foreigners anyway!

We're a mix of every blimmin' European country imaginable :-P

Well....not quite like that but yeah :)

I know... I realised that every time you pulled my hair and punched me on the nose when I was at your place :p

If it helps, I'm actually 3/4 Polish :p

[glorfinniel.livejournal.com]

Are you? That's cool!

(I found out the other day that my dad's real mum is....Scottish! And his real dad was an Irish....traveller, to put it nicely :-P)

There's supposed to be Italian blood on my mum's side of the family as well!

[legoline.livejournal.com]

Yup but I'm not so proud of it *lol*


Scottish? Are ye? Me wee lassie? Aaah luuuv ye! .o)

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

8th German over here! The rest of that half is London and the other half is channel islands. I'm disappointingly single race.

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

Unless one is in a racial minority onesself.

I'm allowed to be racist! I'm middle-class! I live in Suffolk! There is no rcial minority here, I don't know how to do deal with them! Actually, I did find myself staring at a little black lady in town the other day thinking "That's a rare sight in these parts!"

[legoline.livejournal.com]

I'm allowed to be racist! I'm middle-class! I live in Suffolk!

*giggles*

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

There has got to be some kind of upside to living here, we are the butt of a large number of jokes. One of my "fellow students" in my English class was from London and honestly! "I don't suppose you'd know this because you live in Suffolk but..." , "well, in London we..."

Yeesh, we might be alarmingly close, but we don't live in Norfolk!

[glorfinniel.livejournal.com]

Hm, it's not the same over here. Farnborough? I would say that at lest a third of the people in our college are foreign

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

Darn for'ners! *waves pitchfork at them because being from Suffolk, I am obviously a farmer*

[glorfinniel.livejournal.com]

And a darn good farrrrmer at that too!

(Any luck with raking the moon out lately? :-P)

[legoline.livejournal.com]

Oh but you know, me being born and raised in Germany it was MEANT to happen one day... we're all Nazis after all, haven't you heard?

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

Ahh yes, sorry, that particular stereotype escaped my mind for a moment there. You know, I think the whole world is just one big racist. Except America, of course, they're the pinnacle of non-racism.

[legoline.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I mean, it's America.... home of the murdered Native Americans/Slavery/Klu-Klux-Clan brave and the free...

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

Just what we should all aspire to be!1

Do you know after the bombings in London in July, I saw on a forum some American said "Ha! Now you know what it feels like!"

Yeah because the IRA never bombed us or anything, we've never had terrorist attacks before. We certainly haven't hd every single major city bombed to kingdom come during any world war.

[legoline.livejournal.com]

Yeah because the IRA never bombed us or anything, we've never had terrorist attacks before.


You know that's EXACTLY what I though. I went to London about two weeks after the bombings and everyone went "Aren't you afraid?" and all I said was "Well it's not like the IRA didn't ever set bombs in London, is it?" ...

Lots of Americans are stupid anyway.


Oh, I'm a racist. Well it runs in my blood...

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

Damn Irish!

Do you know why the grass is so green in Ireland?

Because they're all over here treading on ours!
