Neither do I. If she had left Native Americans out people would be complaining about that instead. I guess the internet was having a boring friday and needed something to be offended about.

While I get the criticism of JK Rowling adopting and appropriating Native American culture, I really don’t think it’s “best” explained by what Dr. Adrienne Keene said. Basically, “she’s talking about stuff she knows nothing about! And, oh yeah, don’t ask us about it, we’re not telling!”

Says who? Rowling has no more obligation to American or British real history than the White Wolf RPG designers had, or the guy who wrote about Lincoln being a Vampire Hunter, or Harry Turtledove. IT IS FICTION!

At least this article is filed appropriately. It starts out re-iterating already-discussed problems with J.K. Rowlings generalizations of Native Americans, lumping them all up as a single group, etc, etc.

I get that this was poorly researched, and there is no excuse for that.

Chill, it’s just for the trailer. It’s not like the song will play during an episode.

The whole witch trial mention in HP seemed poorly thought out since they mention any witch would be fine but don’t seem to care about all the muggles that died.

Can’t wait to see MURICA’s semi-automatic wands.

No. You’re right. It’s totally better to have an Asian guy with Asia powers, shedding his attempts at being a full, complete person and allowing himself to be pigeon-holed with the only powers guys with epicanthic folds are allowed to have.

Counterpoint: No it doesn’t.

Agreed. Part of the whole point of Iron Fist and Power Man is that Danny is a privileged white guy hanging out with Luke.
