"Goblins in Harry Potter are a racist depiction of Jews because when I think of greedy, hook-noosed bankers, I think of Jews. Just like how orcs in D&D are a racist depiction of black people being when I think of big, violent idiots, I think of black people. I am the exact opposite of a racist. Drawing these conclusions makes me anti-racist."
Wait what, the DnD orcs are also a problem? I havent even heard of that.
Tho the whole HP bankers thing is known to me. Wild that some people look at a goblin and go "This has to be a racist stereotype for jews" and the person who designed it gets shat on instead of person seeing a goblin and going "Omg jew"
In defense of the goblin thing... the bank does have a MASSIVE star of david in the middle of the floor in the movie. Like in the context of the book, sure, but the movie definitely sort of rubs the Jewish allegory in your face quite a bit.
Honestly I didn't even see the book goblins as particularly greedy when compared to anyone else; they literally run a bank and far as I remember the most greedy thing they did was have thorough security measures and try to stop the main characters from breaking into a vault.
They're so close to being based, which ironically would make them lame as fuck.
I remember when the normies were outwardly and proudly racist, it was literally less than 20 years ago. Now they're even more racist in terms of their mentality but they've spun it through a razor thin corpo matrix that tells them they are good and moral people for holding racist views.
Honestly they're just fucking retards. Retards don't have the faculties to be introspective so there's no point even engaging with them. They'll do whatever the current thing is and will attack anyone who doesn't.
”Someone is trying to break in and steal a very precious item. It’s got to be Snape! He just looks so suspisous with his dark, evil eyes, his huge nose and his digusting, unnatural skin color!” - Harry Potter
”Well, Hermione, you’ve got to admit that Snape looks like the type who would steal.” - Ron Weasley
”My biggest problem with Snape is the fact that he exists.” hangs Snape from a tree - James Potter
Also, it turns out that the black teacher is innocent and the actual thief was the guy with a turban.
Casting Snape as a handsome Black man is such an obviously terrible decision that I honestly thought it was a Babylon Bee satire piece when I first read about it.
But when you’re a studio or marketing executive it’s the best idea on every level. Social media outrage and progressivism are just advertising tactics now.

The Star of David in the movie is there because they filmed in an actual bank that by happenstance had that on the floor of the bank.

Exactly I didn't once think of jews. Goblins and gold is a classic combination i sincerely doubt jk Rowling was thinking of jews.
Bostolm@reddit
Well clearly the original goblin source material was already racist (maybe /s idk)

As racist as I am I didn't even consider all the plot points that suddenly become racist when Snape becomes a black man.
I'm impressed.
