Chile, if race wasn’t a factor then most witches & wizards would be mixed-race. But they’re not. Why? Because. Race is ALWAYS a factor. Get it through your heads, people.
I’m inclined to agree that blood status probably takes more precedence than race in the…
The thing about Dead though, is that, sure, we don’t know if he is mixed race but we don’t actually know whether he is muggleborn or half-blood either. In book seven, when the trio overhears the campfire conversation (with Ted Tonk, Griphook and the others) he says that he doesn’t know if his father actually was a wizard. Which means Dean might as well have been muggleborn - the reason Dean took off is because he has no proof one way or the other.
Either way, the discussion over race - as in ethnicity - and race as in blood-status is quite fascinating. Personally I get the feeling that blood-status takes precedence over ethnic background - but it’s not like wizards exist in a vacuum completely unaffected by the muggle world, where race is a factor - and a pretty big one at that.
-You cannot be sexist toward men. Sexism is based on a system of oppression. You CAN be discriminatory, rude, inconsiderate, and/or prejudiced against men but you CANNOT be sexist toward them.
-You cannot be racist towards white people. Racism is based on a system of oppression. You CAN be discriminatory, rude, inconsiderate, and/or prejudiced against white people but you CANNOT be racist toward them.
This is not difficult.
That I am awesome!
Last weekend I did Michelle’s Halloween makeup - I turned her into that creepy ghost lady from Insidious. And… She went to Statt, which is this huge nightclub here, and SHE WON THE HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST!
All thanks to meeeee. I am fabulous! I create winners!
I do wish the picture was darker, because, yeah. BUT STILL! I WIN AT LIFE!

My mother is admiring the asse(t)s of the male cast.
I am wondering why P. Diddy is ruining my evening.
He likes to be called Sean when acting. Scott Caan makes it all better, surely.
*snort* Calling him Sean does not make him a better actor or less P. Diddy-y.
Scott Caan makes everything better, lovey.
And started watching Hawaii Five-0 (Saar, I am looking at you…). Only on the first episode so I can’t be too harsh, but duuuuude…
No one warned me about that O’Loughlin-guy speaking exactly like Nicholas Cage. It’s a mindfuck!
D: D: D:
Do not link Lieutenant Commander McGQ with Nicholas Cage. DO NOT.
I did not know my comment would be so controversial…
:P

He does not! Don’t taint him,…
Nothing special, she says! I admit his face is way better than his ass, but his ass is amazing!
Sometimes, you upset me Rebecca.
My mother agrees with you, if that makes you feel any better?

I’m going to pretend you didn’t say that and stare at Scott Caan’s ass.
I speak only the truth, I’m afrai :/ Nicholas Cage, all the way…
And Scott Caan’s ass is nothing special either. His face is nice though!
