Judge not by the color of one’s skin
In the Wizarding World, if your parents or other relatives are not Wizards but Muggles, then many consider you what is known as a “Mudblood” and you are sentenced to a life full of discrimination and bigotry.
Sami, Daphne, and others remind us that Dumbledore believed
that measuring someone’s worth according to their “blood status” is preposterous. He tells the Minister of Magic: “You place too much importance…on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!” (Goblet of Fire 708).
It is time for our world to heed the advice of both Dumbledore and Dr. King and move beyond discrimination based on race, gender, class, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation.
I’m a big “how and why” person. I love to know what led people to where they are now. I try not to judge based on the first glance. I often freak friends out because I stop to ask homeless people, or those close to it, what led them there. They are usually more than willing to share their stories and I learn a lot about people and the choices that we make.
I am the same as Arletta. I would love to be a mind-reader so as to know peoples stories. I love knowing, but i love acceptance more.
This is one of the main lessons Dumbledore taught me. Coming from an area filled with prejudices, I learned at the age of 9(when I started reading Potter) that it’s wrong to hate people based on color or background. Not only is it wrong but inexcusable.
