Is this like a Sleve McDichael type of situation or something?

Id say more like Schweinsteiger OBrien since Cho is Korean and Chang is Chinese.
Cho isn't necessarily Korean. It's predominantly Korean as a name but there are romanizations of Cho that exist in Chinese with a very different pronunciation, or Chinese words that sound like Cho but are written differently. Depends on what the pronunciation was in Rowling's mind I guess. I doubt she put that much thought into it though.

Like in Korean, Cao Cao from Romance of the Three Kingdom, which Dynasty Warriors is based off of, is written as Cho Cho

How hard could it be to do any research on chinese names?

^Anthony Goldstein is in the books, its just that he only gets barely mentioned because he's a very minor background character. Like most of the other kids, actually. Despite sharing classes for 6 years, Harry only actually speaks to maybe a dozen kids.

Also the mythical creatures that run the banks are hook nosed goblins, the only Irish character likes to make explosives, and the only black character is named Kingsley Shacklebolt. Plus the whole house elf shit.

Dean Thomas was black. So was Lee Jordan (best friend of Fred and George).

Dean Thomas, Angelina Johnson, Lee Jordan, & Blaise Zabini are all black too.

However, Hermione definitely isn't, despite Rowling's later BS.

Further proof that JK Rowling is a bad writer

She took pity on me, horizontally, but most likely because of my band

Rowling is an absolute dingbat - BUT: as I understand it, its a legit name? Its kind a Catch 22 because if she had a character of Asian ancestry named Becky or something, even though a lot of Asians do take Anglicised names, people would complain about that. Or you go this way and people say youre stereotyping.

Seems kind of dumb to act like the name itself is in any way generic when it's a real name. It seems the primary issue would be that it seems to be a Korean name.
