But that's not the way it is in canon. It works the opposite way. As
long as you've got Wizard blood you're a Wizard. You're not in the
elite that is "Pureblood" according to certain Slytherins, but you're
not a Muggle.
(Though I kind of hate that it comes down to "imagine the way it
works under Jim Crow and under the Nazis--which are different from
each other and different from the situation in the WW--and fill it in
yourself.)

Tiffany:
I meant to use the Jim Crow laws with respect to the elite definition
of "Pureblood" by certain Slytherins at Hogwarts. I know that if
you've got Wizard blood then you're a Wizard in the WW & Potterverse.
