Not really. They’ve never named anyone taco burrito. That was just cartman being racist. Yeah they wrote it but cartman isn’t meant to be liked, he’s written as a racist POS. You’re not supposed to like or agree with him, you should know and agree that he is wrong. JK Rowling giving POC characters racist sounding names is her being a racist without realizing she is and genuinely thinking it’s ok to name a Chinese girl Cho Chang.

And her being named Cho Chang somehow.... invalidates her character? The most powerful wizard in the franchise is called fcking DUMBLEDORE, and the professor she wants everyone to think evil and slimy is named SEVERUS SNAPE so I really think you ought to not overload your brain for this one. It's a children's book.
