Fantasy metaphors for racism, anti-semitism, and homophobia are always so weak and dishonest. Oppression of say, wizards being a metaphor for anti-semitism or racism is a dishonest depiction of those opppresive structures because it implies that those structures have some sort of justification. People hate wizards because they have scary magic powers. The holocaust didn’t happen because Jewish people have the potential to summon giant fire storms with their minds. .
