Sure, you could argue that car insurance premiums are more expensive for a reason, but the fact remains: they tend to be higher for low income individuals, even when those individuals are good drivers.

Another quote that deserves to be enshrined alongside Baldwin’s and reflects a synergistic problem:

Actually, picking an obscure belief and ascribing it a context in the Roman mythology was what the Romans actually did.

in this alternative reality where MAGIC EXISTS why couldn’t magicians have conceived of a magical united states?

Yes, a history of HER WORLD, a world that already has completely re-written history to suit its own needs. It’s fiction. Not history. Fiction. This distinction doesn’t seem to go through your head. She doesn’t need to get historical facts correct, because she’s not writing historical fact. In the same way that…

I will take the ragequit as a win.

Your teacher needs to understand that some traits could require a mixture of genes to express. Or that magic could in fact occur by means other than DNA.

Which is why we call French fries the same thing in both countries, right? Oh wait we don't. Are you seriously unaware that Americans and Britains use different words for different things?

Grindelwald, Dumbledore’s old friend and later vicious enemy, is pretty explicitly a Hitler analog operating concurrently with Hitler. I think the idea is that the world wars and…
