I mean, the racism and bigotry was always in the books, her money has just more open about her hate for specific groups.
In hindsight yes, but at the time I was probably around 8, so it didn't register back then.
It’s fucking blatant, too. White British people in the nineties/early two thousands might well have had a blind spot (not an excuse) and not realized that “Cho Chang” was as fucked up a name as it was, but I simply cannot believe that nobody noticed the only explicitly Irish character was constantly sneaking whisky and making explosions.
I remember seeing this commercial in the UK in the mid 00s.
