I was a Harry Potter lore nerd as a kid (before I found Touhou) so I just wanna do a minor correction that the one black student’s name is actually Dean Thomas. Kingsley Shacklebolt is an adult and an auror (wizard FBI). Different characters
She did however name the one Asian student “Cho Chang.”
Also JK Rowling is a massive Terf and I despise her
Haha, fair. I read the first one when I was 18 not long after it came out, then went back to Discworld, not exactly full bottle on this stuff. And yeah, Cho Chang is also a… Choice, but at least it’s not “shacklebolt”. Still gross but didn’t feel worth mentioning alongside all the slavery stuff.
In the UK they group the Indian peninsula in with Asia, so, the Patil twins also fall in with the JK naming conventions. Also being along with Cho being ‘training wheel’ dates/relationships for Ron and Harry to realise they actually want to date white girls Hermione and Ginny. (Putting Lavendar Brown aside briefly)

That name always reminds me of the late Deftones bassist Chi Cheng.
