of all the things she has written, surprising that her transsexual comments cause her the most problems.
The "Harry Potter" series involves a conflict between two small groups of blood-defined supermen over whether or not they should exclude an even smaller group. The books also describe a financial system controlled by hook nosed goblins (literally).
Baffling that this series ever became as popular as it did, & I don't expect its popularity or distribution in USA to last. I'd guess that hostility from Christian right in early 2000s let it slip past liberal sensibilities.

Early Bronze Age Greece (~3200-2600 BC) was mostly EEF in ancestry with a significant amount of CHG ancestry from Anatolian migrants. Indo-European invaders who were ~50% PIE/Steppe in ancestry invaded Greece in mid-Bronze Age ~2600-2000 BC. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… ImageImageImageImage
the two pre-IE men from Greece in the early Bronze Age had Y-haplogroups of J2a (most commonly found in Georgia) and an uncommon branch of G2. isogg.org/tree/2011/ISOG… Image
The peoples of the Aegean of the early Bronze Age 3200-2600 were (relatively) homogenous in ancestry - mostly EEF with a significant amount of CHG ancestry. See the admixture graph under "Greece & Cyprus EMBA" - brown is EEF, cyan is CHG. ImageImageImage
