A video by the actress who played Cho Chang in Harry Potter.
"To JK Rowling, from Cho Chang When you put me in your books, millions of Asian girls across America rejoiced! Finally, a potential Halloween costume that wasn't a geisha or Mulan! What’s not to love about me? I’m everyone’s favorite character! I totally get to fight tons of Death Eaters and have a great sense of humor and am full of complex emotions! Oh wait. That’s the version of Harry Potter where I’m not fucking worthless. First of all, you put me in Ravenclaw. Of course the only Asian at Hogwarts would be in the nerdy house. Too bad there wasn't a house that specialized in computers and math and karate, huh? I know, you thought you were being tolerant. Between me, Dean, and the Indian twins, Hogwarts has like...five brown people? It doesn't matter we’re all minor characters. Nah, you’re not racist! Just like how you’re not homophobic, because Dumbledore’s totally gay! Of course it’s never said in the books, but man. Hasn't society come so far? Now gays don’t just have to be closeted in real life—they can even be closeted fictionally! Ms. Rowling. Let’s talk about my name. Cho. Chang. Cho and Chang are both last names. They are both Korean last names. I am supposed to be Chinese. Me being named “Cho Chang” is like a Frenchman being named “Garcia Sanchez.” So thank you. Thank you for giving me no heritage. Thank you for giving me a name as generic as a ninja costume. As chopstick hair ornaments. Ms. Rowling, I know you’re just the latest participant in a long tradition of turning Asian women into a tragic fetish. Madame Butterfly. Japanese woman falls in love with a white soldier, is abandoned, kills herself. Miss Saigon. Vietnamese woman falls in love with a white soldier, is abandoned, kills herself. Memoirs Of A Geisha. Lucy Liu in leather. Schoolgirl porn. So let me cry over boys more than I speak. Let me fulfill your diversity quota. Just one more brown girl mourning her white hero. No wonder Harry Potter’s got yellow fever. We giggle behind small hands and “no speak Engrish.” What else could a man see in me? What else could I be but what you made me? Subordinate. Submissive. Subplot. Go ahead. Tell me I’m overreacting. Ignore the fact that your books have sold 400 million copies worldwide. I am plastered across movie screens, a bestselling caricature."
Well there you have it, folks. J.K. Rowling is racist. You heard it here first. The fact that the U.K. is a Caucasian nation? Nah, ignore that. There should be more Asian people there.
And of course, naturally Miss Chang should have gotten a much bigger roll! Because she's so much more important than, say, all the other minor characters! Bah, grow up, kid. Stop crying because you didn't get a better roll. As for Ravenclaw, oh for Pete's sake, you're reading so much more into that than there is.
And oh nooo you didn't get to kill Death Eaters. Unlike all the other minor characters who did, like...... huh, like none of them.
And what the heck does Dumbledore have to do with any of this? Why did she have to say that Dumbledore was gay? He was a hundred year old guy who never had a wife/husband and she never mentioned any of his relationships. She should have EMPHASIZED that he was gay? Why? Do we EMPHASIZE that, say, Flitwick isn't gay? No.
Tragic fetish? Oh for the love of god, shut up with your little victim complex. This is just you crying about how you didn't get a better roll. You don't see Seamus Finnegan complaining.
