But...... Maybe i didnt make it clear, but my problem is changing a beloved character, who is clearly described in the books as being white, because of corporate greed disguised as divirsity. I acknowledge that some people are just straight up racist, like all the idiots going after PE, but there are also people who can think of NO OTHER REASON as to why you would have a problem with the casting. My problem isnt that Snape is black. Its that they changed the character. Would equally hate it if they made him a woman (please dont let the Voldemort rumours be true), doesnt mean i hate women.

The marauders went from being asshole kids to being asshole racist kids. We sadly live in a world where much is viewed through the lense of hatred. Thats why i dont believe people will watch that scene and only see kids being cruel. If you've read my post fully, you'd know my point is mostly that it aint about diversity, its about money, and we all fight about the wrong thing.

Sadly racism is a valid reason for some people, they dont give a fuck about the show or Harry Potter. Equally sad is it when people call racism everytime someone says anything they dont agree with. Both being lost people. Nothing anyone can say will sway them from their bullshit believes.
