She claims her stories are allegories about racism. They sure are! Us poor muggles can't get along on our own, without secret help from a race of superior-born wizards.
Kipling wrote about "white man's burden" - the white man's duty to civilize non-whites.
Just exchange the word "wizard" for the phrase "white man" and you have Kipling all over again. A racist wolf in sheep's clothing.
Even the term "muggle" sounds as offensive as the "gg" n-word Kipling often used.
