No doubt.  It's still not nice to deal in stereotypes, though.  Those 
who don't want Fred to end up with Angelina can just give him another 
partner--they don't have to throw in racist slurs about Angelina.

Now I might be slamming these authors unfairly, because I have read 
almost no fics with Cho in them at all and really can't judge what 
trends there might be in Cho-portrayal.
