Hi

Sorry, I was physically unable to post this on the actual forum, (it wouldn't let me for some reason). I know getting this message here might be a bitch, and I'm sorry about that, I just didn't know where else to say it.

I'm not trying to be too pc and I know that it was probably not your idea to include it and I know that you're probably not going to be the one to fix it. I didn't know who else to say this to, and since you were the one on the forum I thought you were my best option. But if there is somewhere else that would be more appropriate to post it I am happy to!

I really like you infobox coding/designs, they are REALLY cool! and I wish I could do it! But I am kinda confused as to why on the characters infobox you include their skin colour in their description. Harry Potter is a book series and it never really defines the skin colours of the characters, the movies are merely one adaptation of the character and I feel by putting that information there you are potentially white washing the franchise and almost invalidating artist’s interpretations that do not fit into that category. Furthermore, you're not even naming their ethnicity -I assume to avoid accidental racism (or something)- so why even put it in?? it just seems a little redundant and kinda racist to me. Sorry, for this message being so long, and sorry if you're not the right person to send this to. I hope you can discuss these changes with other council members (??) and reach an inclusionary conclusion.

Thank you for reading c:
