This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That’s why us Latinos aren’t represented in the series. Jose el Mago would have walked up to the guy and just shanked him a bunch of times and taken his shoes
Probably a good thing JKR didn't include any Latin American wizards in the series. They probably would have ended up practicing a form of magic that was basically just Aztec blood sacrifice. No way it wouldn't be racist as fuck. This is Rowling we're talking about. Her goblins are thinly veiled Jewish stereotypes, she has happy house slaves, and the African wizards are literal witch doctors.
And they would be called Rodrigo Rodríguez
Rowling was always known to be slightly racist but people mostly dismissed it as a sort of fantastically stupid racism. As in, the "ha ha this racist stereotype is so dumb, see how ridiculous it looks when I put it in my wizard book" sort.
I don't think it was until she started going full TERF that people began to realise that she's not making fun of the stereotypes; she actually thinks casual racism is a funny and cute thing to do.
50 Shades of Grey was a Twilight fanfic.
What I'm saying is, my good sir... Youre onto something magical here.
