Without having read the rest of the fic it is impossible to know what the tone or the intention of the writer is. What the passage did remind me off was the recent re-evaluation of Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood speach. Where the casual, accepted, racism of the past is supposed to be justified in some way by the times or the circumstances of the country. The sentence "But back then, Salazar had some good points" could have been heard or read recently on Radio or int he papers with Powell's name added.
Should I have ever tried my hand at HP fiction, it is just the sort of thing I could imagine a 'good' Syltherin character saying towards the beginning of a story. Simply to display that while they were otherwise a 'good' person, they retained areas of prejudice from their background.
What would be interesting to read would be your response on the thread, and I'd be very interested to know what you think the FA moderators should do about the fic? (What is FA anyway?)
