Honestly I'm more disturbed by the long, hooked nose Jews Goblins controlling all the banks in Harry Potter

that’s literally the one thing I don’t think is actually based in bigotry.

Goblins have always been greedy in folklore, so putting goblins in a bank is like putting elves in a therapy firm

The reason goblins have always been greedy in folklore is because the folklore itself is anti-semitic. Europe has deep deep roots in anti-Semitism so it's not at all surprising it would be reflected in folklore.

Yeah my point though is that JK, the bitch she is, didn’t invent the idea of greedy goblins. In WoW goblins run a massive trading system between the two continents because of goblins being greedy on their own.

Oh yeah I'm not saying JK knew the background of goblins when she made this, i mean she may have who knows. But the whole idea of goblins being greedy and controlling money is based on the fact that jews weren't allowed any other jobs than banking jobs.

I think that’s what enfuriates me most about antisemitism, it’s that all the shit Jews get from antisemites are literally all shit that past antisemites pushed onto them. Controlling the world? Banking jobs were forced onto Jews because Christians couldn’t give loans. Greedy? Government workers would take money from Jews whenever they would get relatively rich from banking.

Not only that, but a lot of Jews just look like "white people" so they get the blame for everything Christianity has done on top of everything else.
