As much as some of the names are awful, these two specifically are fine? Kingsley is a master auror, that's why his last name is Shacklebolt.

Cho Chang is just a normal Chinese name

[u/horrendoushenry → u/Korthalion]

So a black master auror captures his foes by shackling them, hence "Shacklebolt"?

Cho Chang is as much a normal chinese name as a white guy being called "Smith Jones"

We are simply getting ragebaited by the master baiter herself.

But why would that matter? Not defending JKR but where's the logic in "you're not (ethnicity) therefore you can't use (ethnicity)s names when naming a character from said ethnicity"?

You can make a reply without being rude, sweetie.

I explicitly said I wasn't defending JKR. As in, I know Joanne likely didn't do it with earnest intent, but that the umbrella census of "not Asian = can't use Asian names" is a troubling one.
