The headline says it all, doesn't it?

Because I'm a giving bloke and I've an unyielding need to share this ickle beaut from other parts sunny:


"International Community Expresses Outrage at Racist British Laws" -- Adelaide Independent.


Didn't need a crystal ball to See that one coming. The Daily Messenger's one along similar lines. Ruddy brilliant, yeah? Reckon I'm going to have the lot of them framed. Seems the rest of the world's taking notice and they're not buying into the bigoted bunch of bollocks our dearly loathed Ministry's all about these days. Don't see why they would, anyroad. Reckon they could smell the sodding stink of arse and shite a world and half away.

Australia clearly doesn't understand what "Race" is. As a young, Black man, I'm doing just fine.

This is excellent news indeed. Thank you for sharing.

Do you think you can get other international papers?

Who exactly are you racing against, Blaise?

The International Community, apparently? You'd have to ask the Aussies.

Oh, right, Russian. Yeah, and how the hell am I supposed to translate that?

You assume that I can read it?

Sergei says that it roughly translates to:
"Russian Wizarding Community Raises Concerns Regarding British Pure Blood Supremacy. Will Russia Be Next?"

Bigoted is the word they're looking for.

Sounds like Utopia to me.

Thank Circe we're here to give them all the big words. Perhaps we ought to pat them on the head and send them off to snack for a good try?

That's part of the headline, you nitwit.

Oh, it's a headline. I failed Divination.


Great, thanks. Wait, hold up, why are you sending me that? You know, helping me?

Sounds like bollocks to me. I'm a fucking Pureblood and I should be able to go wherever I fucking want.


Tell the Ministry to shove up their bums.

Mrs Chopra shows me the same sorts of headlines coming out of India as well. I think they're appalled that England can treat her Purebloods in this fashion.

I hardly see how reciting a newspaper headline would be "helping you". It's merely confirming what you already know.

You miss the greater picture, darling. You are being terribly short-sighted.

There's no shame in admitting we're right.


We're going to win this. We have the whole world behind us.

I'm being short-sighted because they're taking away my rights now too? What's next, putting escaped prisoners back in prison?

Go ahead, Blaise. I won't stop you.

It seems that you hold the minority viewpoint, Blaise.

Race can be used to describe any group, class, or kind of persons. Try cracking open a bleeding dictionary next time and you won't sound like a ruddy derro.

You're so presumptuous. What is it about Gryffindor optimism?

Admitting that you're right presumes that I actually believe as much, which I do not.

That being said, I do not mean that you are entirely wrong, either. Perhaps less wrong than others morally, but less right than others theoretically.
