TheGreatEvilKing posted:The problem is that wizards as black people is completely incoherent, because the wizards can trivially slaughter normal humans with absolutely no repercussions at all. Go reread the opening of the first book again, where Nassun gets mad her son was killed and trivially butchers an entire village, indiscriminately destroying people, buildings, and nature. The regular people can't even fight back, because Nassun can split crossbow bolts in flight. This isn't a metaphor for collective action or anything, this is just one angry woman who on a bad day can slaughter a town and nobody can do anything about it. It's not a study thing, it's not a training thing, it's entirely a eugenics thing based on inherited magical power. This parses to black people...how, exactly? A black man has the same intrinsic abilities as a white one. Except she explicitly has had a lifetime of training and that's what allows her to ice the town? Her children haven't, and most back country orogenes haven't, which is what leads to them getting killed/Guardianed when they first exhibit their powers. It maybe doesn't help the allegory when the protagonist is exponentially more capable than the rest of her oppressed group though.
