I saw a post that basically said how Pansy being perceived as East Asian is problematic, and reinforces racist stereotypes. Personally, I do see her as East Asian descent, specifically South Korean, in the same way I see Harry as half Indian because of James, and Hermione as black...
I don't get what the massive problem is with projecting colour onto characters with little to none description on skin colour whatsoever. Isn't fleshing them out like this and envisioning them as poc far more inclusive and progressive as opposed to everyone being whiter than a sheet of paper?
But anyway, back to my initial question:

Drarry x Crazy Rich Asians for @lcdrarry fest! ❤️ This piece was so fun and soothing to make and I appreciate everyone's comments so much.
This AU is fueled by my international school kid heart - Draco is Kyrgyz, Pansy is Chinese Singaporean, Harry is Pakistani and Hermione is Lebanese ❤️

Ways J.K Rowling did poc dirty in canon:
Making the last name of one of her most powerful black characters “Shacklebolt” - a crude af reference to slavery and just in very poor taste.
Naming her only east Asian character “Cho Chang” - a Korean surname as a first name for a Chinese character - proving she did no research whatsoever into Chinese naming traditions.
Cho’s characterization also leans in to the trope of tragic Asian female characters being defined by their romantic connections to white men, as in “Miss Saigon” or “A Quiet American.” Cho’s storyline centers on her romantic involvement with Cedric, Harry and Roger Davies. She gets no meaningful arc of her own.
The sidekick-ification of Lee Jordan.
Michael Corner being referred to as “the dark one” which is bad enough, and then him being whitewashed in the films.
Pansy Parkinson’s comment about Angelina Johnson’s braided hair looking like “worms” goes completely unpunished. Rowling treats this as standard bullying instead of a racially-charged comment. Rowling clearly didn’t understand the serious implications of this comment and its rooting in deeply-ingrained discrimination against black hairstyles, or she would have written a similar reaction to this as she did to that of Hermione being called a “Mudblood.”
House Elves as a metaphor for slaves is highly problematic because they are depicted as “liking” their enslavement and being complicit in it, much like the black slaves in “Gone With The Wind.” Despite Dobby being a beloved character, he is also seen as an anomaly for desiring freedom, and many other House Elves are depicted as grotesque, fawning, ridiculous or sinister. Pretty garbage metaphor for black slaves.
In Goblet of Fire Rowling describes a group of “African” wizards wearing “long white robes” and “roasting what looked like a rabbit on a bright purple fire.” This is just… *sigh* The way this is worded is very clearly just token exoticism and includes no genuine detail about their clothing, cultural food or nationality. It’s just “wow those zany rabbit-eating Africans and their purple fire.” Once again black characters are being used as examples of otherness rather than shown as human beings.
Rowling has openly admitted that she created a detailed backstory for Dean Thomas, one of the series’ few black characters, but did not include it in the books and included the backstory of Neville Longbottom, a white character, instead.
Approving the casting of a white actress in the role of Lavender Brown in the films, a character the majority of readers assumed was black.
The portrayal of Blaise Zabini’s “famously beautiful” black mother who was known for offing her husbands and taking their money. Like. Come on. Tbh she sounds like a queen but violent woc gold digger is still a shit trope.
Just the entire treatment of the Patil twins at the Yule Ball, the way Harry and Ron treated them and Rowling’s garbage attempt at describing their traditional clothing.
Padma Patil’s portrayal in Cursed Child as the stereotypical controlling Indian wife. The idea of ending up with her instead of Hermione being positioned as some kind of horrible alternate reality for Ron had very xenophobic undertones, and while Hermione is portrayed as black in the play, I don’t believe that Rowling originally intended her to be a black character nor that casting directors deliberately set out to cast a black actress as Hermione in Cursed Child initially.

The silver trio (Draco, Pansy, Blaise) is so important to me BUT I’m so specific about it.
Like:
Draco CANNOT become a death eater!! He must be a snot-nosed bi/gay boy with an ego and lots of superficial friends. He is a mama’s boy and he is spoilt but grows up to learn the error of his ways!! He is a quidditch nerd so he trained really hard but he knew his parents would never let him be a professional player. He used to have a crush on the late James Potter because he was the best quidditch player in all of Hogwarts’ history. He always talks about how James could have been the Puddlemere’s chaser if he didn’t die. That’s why he wanted to be friends with Harry so bad at first. He only killed Albus because it was the only way to prove his loyalty without getting the mark. BONUS: He has a crush on either Hermoine or Harry!! (So, basically a half re-write of his character).
Pansy Parkinson my queen!! Idk where or why but she must be asian!! She is goth asian queen (no arguments). She and Draco dated once so that Lucius would get off his back about him being single. Pansy was mean to Hermoine because she had a crush on Hermoine. As the one of the few asian pure-bloods, she had to fight extra hard to assimilate in Hogwarts and live up to her parents’ expectations. She hated how Cho was so easily accepted in Ravenclaw. She also didn’t want to be stereotyped as the smart one so she studied in secret (BUT HERMOINE LIVED IN THE LIBRARY). To ensure that Hermoine wouldn’t find out she was studying secretly, she used to bully Hermoine. When Hermoine eventually figured her out, they became study partners (Pansy would never admit to it). Before the war tore them all apart, she was nursing a crush on the brightest witch. She used to hex anyone that annoyed her. She became friends with Draco after she hexed him.
Blaise Zabini IS A WEREWOLF!! Again, I have no idea where this came from or why I have this hc but I LOVE THIS!! Blaise was bitten as a child like Remus but unlike Remus he came from an influential wizarding family. So, he managed to keep it hidden for the first few years. Draco found out in second year and proceeded to lose his shit (screaming abt going to the ministry and how his father is going to hear about this). But, Pansy promptly reminded him that Draco’s dad is a literal DEATHEATER and thats even worse than being a werewolf!! Originally, Draco and Blaise weren’t friends but after a few heart to hearts in the library, they started to realise how shitty their families are. When Remus showed up in third year, Blaise immediately recognised that they were both werewolves but seeing as Remus favoured Gryffindor, he didn’t dare to approach him. Draco obviously got annoyed at the situation and took it out on gryffindor prince (Harry Potter). Also, HC that he studied really hard to get into Slug club but wasn’t allowed in because he was a werewolf.
Also: Personal HC that all three of them escaped to Blaise’s home because his mum was the only one of their families not to align with Voldemort.

Summary:
Nobody expected Hermione Granger and Antonin Dolohov to find love with one another–not their friends, and not especially their families. When Antonin invites her to come home with him, Hermione finds herself swept up in a flurry of fine gowns, petty bridesmaids, and possible in-laws so judgmental that they make the Malfoys look cuddly in comparison. Gorko!
