She also insisted that the fact that Harry asked out that black waitress is some how proof that the movie endorsed jungle fever. Oy
These double-standards hurt my brain. She claims JKR is a racist because Harry and Ginny dump their non-white people (Dean Thomas and Cho Chang) and get together to make a big, white happy family.
This is overanalyzing things, to be sure, but it's fairly sane for an Allecto argument.
But apparently Harry showing interest in a black woman is bad to begin with.
Then again, if Harry dated a black woman, he'd apparently turn into an abusive monster. Of course, if he ever sleeps with Ginny (and he presumably did, since they have children), he's apparently still an abusive monster, so I'm not sure why she harps on mixed race relationships in the first place.
