      She didn’t plagiarise all of Harry potter though so she must have some imagination. Creatively bankrupt might be more apt

        Rowling’s goblins? Based on a racist caricature

        The house elves? Wouldn’t you know it, also based on a racist caricature

        Centaurs? You guessed it! Based on a racist caricature!

        Are you one of those people that whinged about Marvel having a character named Wong, when the actor who portrayed Wong, was named Wong?

          What? No. What does that have to do with anything? I’m talking about names like Draco Malfoy.
