    Unfair question in my view, because it would depend who was speaking. Non-bigots in the wizarding world would say half-blood. Pure blood supremacists would say mudblood. In my view, you should have got the point.

    This thread is the perfect litmus test. If you can read it without empathy for the writer’s pain and fear; if you immediately assume an agenda; if, above all, your response to the distress of a British Jew is to shrug and talk about the Israeli government, then you test positive.
