Well I mean she's not wrong.

Ad they would have doubled is he was Asian.

she's right
they'd have sold thrice as well

tyrone potter

[Famous literary work] wouldn't have been half as famous if [iconic literary character] was [non-conventional archetype]

wtf are you talking about fucking idiot poseur

"p.s. snape might have been a bisexual jew"

>>6153456
Snape was clearly a Jew

>>6153456
All I know is that he was a cuck.

Literary archetypes, my choleric friend

It's nice to know that /tv/ transcends all boards.

Probably be hard to write a 7 book series if he spent it all in Azkaban.

>>6153416
the books do not once mention harry's ethinicity

i am pretty sure that from the book the only characters whose ethnicity can be decided are the weasleys. you don't get many black redheads

>>6153587
We all know that fictional characters are white unless otherwise explicitly stated.

>>6153605
what about that one where the guy is getting a dicksuck and thinking about benjamin franklin, he could have been a wigger but nine out of ten readers will assume hes a nog

>>6153586

i fucking lost it.

>>6153536
forget it jake. it's 4chantown.

>>6153416
Yeah, niggers can't read, you'd lose most of your target audience

>>6153586

>>6153586

Duh. You can't put spinning rims on a broomstick.

>>6154692
Duh, you put 'em on your stolen flying car instead.

But she's right

>>6153416
Not surprising that a lazy writer with huge plot holes is also a lazy thinker with large gaps of knowledge

Let's do the math, if he was black, I would've sold half, I ain't have to graduate from Lincoln high school to know that, but I could write, so fuck school, I'm too cool to go back, gimme the pen, show me where the fuckin' publisher's at

>>6153443
Ulysses wouldn't have been half as famous if Leopold Bloom was Jewish.

>>6153605
exactly

>>6153586

Portnoy's complaint would have sold half as well if Alexander Portnoy wasn't Jewish.

>>6153536
You need /pol/ in your life.

>>6153587
It talks about his hair and eye color

>>6153605
The main narrator in The Left Hand of Darkness is white for a good bit in the beginning. How inconsiderate from Le Guin
(not that skin colour matters much in sci-fi, but visualisation, maaaan)

>>6153586

Holy Crystal

If Martin Luther King was white, nobody would have listened to him.

"If Alexander was Alexandria, nobody would have taken Clockwork Orange seriously. It would have been laughed off the shelves."

--Anthony Burgess

"If Luke Skywalker had autism and epilepsy the cinemas would have been empty"

>Black Harry Potter.
>Brings gun to hogwarts instead of a wand, pulls countless bitches, smokes weed and holds rap parties in the Gryffindor common room, is able to get away with it because he's best mates with the prefects and high fives them while walking down the hallway.

>wuz dat spell for a quick blunt
>bluntzinmymoufyo

What she was trying to say was that *if* niggers could read they would just steal the book off the shelf anyway. Hardly to be considered an insight. I'm sure any marketing genius could add that up for ya. Kinda be like marketing running shoes expressly for the limbless, no?

I can just see Harry now smoking a blunt and drinking Four Loko preparing for his mid-term. The mid-term consists of a disappearing act once your chicken-head gets pregnant.

Mofux has a 12" wand!

TOP KEX

>>6155589
You're an asshole. Nigroaches be readin' mad bookz these days.

The story would be about a pamphlet long in that case. Here's a sample:

Harry be gone to school. He make $ selling trees. He got kickd out four fightin. Now Harry be learn majik. Harry be makes hoes appear for $.

As you can see, it would not have been the same.

>>6155305
yeah he has black hair and green eyes
doesn't mean much. it's not exactly a rare combination. he could easily be mixed ethnicity.

>>6155031
Lol

>>6153458
>scheming
>malevolent interest in young/prepubescent white children
>familiar with the dark arts
I don't see any connection

but there are more black people in the world.

is she implying black people dont read? or that reading is not popular in black countries?

>>6153605
Or unless they are given a ghetto way of talking (as in Cormy's The Road). It's the literary equivalent of blackfase

>>6155589
Isn't smoking blunts and drinking Four Loko what the average British teenager does anyway?

>>6155541
the series honestly would have been much more interesting.

>>6156136
if harry potter were written today

>He make £ selling trees
ftfy

>>6156014
Black people are the minority in the West, which is where the book was written. Obviously there are a lot of black people in the world, but only a small portion would have had access to the book because it isn't easy to get a book internationally published.

>>6153416
probably not tbh, probably would have only sold 3/5ths as well...ba dum ch!

The tumblr-/pol/ dialectic resolves itself.
