I must agree. I am so tired of seeing MUDBLOOD in reference to
muggleborn (ie Hermione). That is like saying the N word. Oh ya it
is. At least in the Potterverse it is. And Ron would hex you but
good. :)
So can we please write Muggle-born? Or 1/2 blood or well, maybe you
can come up with something else... but, mudblood is rather nasty..
lets me mice... i mean nice...
Thanks..
