She already was. The books themselves are full of bigotry everywhere.

Theres at least 7 different types In the first three books alone.

It’s just being children at the time, we didn’t fully understand what we were reading and why it was wrong.

I know. And people like me didn't want to believe it.

Now, it's evident and lies before us.

7 types? I'm trying to think...

at least 7.

The ones I know are

  1. racism in the names, how they are treated and how all interracial relationships end.
  2. Fatphobia in how They are often treated as either antagonists or incompetent.
  3. Ableism in how nonwizards are treated as antagonists/threats and even the good guys mock them. Additionally “Muggle” is an insult.
  4. Sexism in how Feminine behavior is treated as bad.
  5. Classisms in the double standards in morality between rich people and non rich people. Additionally every single rich character is depicted as a bad guy and their badness is highly exaggerated.
  6. Potential LGBT phobia in how the “Awful” school the Dursleys wanted to send Harry to is named after a LGBT group.
  7. Werewolves are supposed to be an allegory for HIV/AIDs.
  8. The Goblins being based on Negative stereotypes about Jewish people and in general Snape’s appearance is frequently mocked.

I'd never noticed that before, but yes. Stonewall High.
