The "occasional wizard of color" bit is funny because to be honest, I don't think you could fill both sides of single page of 8x11 printer paper with the text/character-to-character interactions between Harry Potter and Dean Thomas - the only black Gryffindor in his year - between books 1-6 until Harry decides Ginny is his OTP after dumping Cho Chang for no reason - and even then he barely interacts with Dean.
It's actually crazy that Kingsley Shacklebolt ( even I, as a young Harry Potter fan who was at each Barnes & Noble midnight release for books 4-7, knew that fucking name was racist I can't believe she fucking got away with it - Cho Chang is a similar vein ofc but damn I guess Cho should count her blessings that she wasn't named like Cho Nanking or something...) doesn't really appear as a speaking character until Book 5 but probably has more of a presence in the story than any of the 3 black Gryffindor wizards (and uh...the one black Slytherin Malfoy picked up in book 6....Blaze Zabini or whoever) and even then, his like most notable conversation with Harry is when they're doing the dumbass polyjuice potion assisted broom suicide for Hedwig in book 7.
JK Rowling they should bury you alive in the Edinburgh catacombs behind hardcover copies of all of Susan Stryker's books!!!
the funniest thing about the names from two cultures thing is that rowling could just say she's intentionally multiethnic but she doesn't care and she's not clever enough to come up with that.
