Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (novel)/Headscratchers/Let's Hate the Mudbloods


 * So... Why was the Wizarding world so quick to jump on the "Let's hate the filthy mudbloods!" bandwagon? It seems weird that nobody was protesting the government's turn against muggle-borns.
 * Welcome to politics.
 * We've seen what the Death Eaters did to schoolchildren who questioned their propaganda. Do you think they were nicer to adults? Sure, go ahead and protest the Ministry's turn against Muggle-borns. The next day you'll come home to find they've killed your whole family.
 * We can ask the same question about 1930's Germany.
 * I can probably answer this because I'm a student of history. Ok the reason why no one was protesting the prejudice aganist Muggle-borns was because they would have been killed. For the prejudice aganist Jews/Romas/Disabled/ in RLF history? They would probably have been thrown into the contrection camps that you have heard of.
 * And the Jews/etc. weren't popular before, either. It's not like people were very tolerant of homosexual folks, and Jews had had a lot of trouble in the past, with people calling them greedy and Christ-killers and so on.
