With all due respect, in my opinion, likening centaurs in a 
children's book series to 'corrupt, evil, black' people and 
discussing lynchings and the KKK does an incredible disservice to 
the scores of innocent real human beings who were lynched and 
murdered by the KKK. 

Centaurs are not 'racists.' They are an entirely different species, 
whose homelands have been lost due to the dominance of humankind. 
Some/all of them may hate human beings (magical or muggle) and they 
may/may not have justifiable cause to do so. IMO, the fact that the 
centaurs turned on one of their own for dealing with humans is more 
akin to people under siege from a conquering army turning on a 
collaborator.
