Comment on Dolores Umbridge was a JK Rowling Self Insert all this time.

Absolutely, I just meant to point out that there’s far more blatant examples. Goblins have been antisemitic caricatures in fantasy for a long time so it’s easy for a bad writer to just regurgitate existing tropes, so a racist writer can use that as a shield. It’s much harder to justify naming your black character after slave imagery.
