My personal soapbox, about which I posted here before HBP was JKR's
treatment of "inbred" people.  I *do* hate that term.  Hasn't
someone come up with a politically correct term for that yet? <

xuxu:
I think 'inbred' is fine. It's a derogatory term, but then it's meant
to since I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) it is aimed at the
pure-bloods who shy from exogamy because they are actually xenophobes.
It's like calling racists 'racist', it is also derogatory, but then
what?
