Did you forget Fleur, or find her totally in step?  She is only a 
quarter Veela, but Ron noticed right away, saying, "She's a Veela!" 
and she still had the power to turn on charm to get a date to the 
ball (or Harry supposes).

(By the way, this reminds me, Bruce Lee worked to get Chinese people 
depicted with more respect in American film and television, and was a 
hero for many Chinese when he finally broke through (perhaps 
posthumously, sadly).  Did you know he was one fourth German?  (He 
looked like his mother, who in older photos looks quite Caucasian.. 
his son had blond hair and grey eyes.)  At least, there is a 
positive, not negative example of most people's not knowing a 
spokesperson or whatnot has other heritage as well...)
