siliquasquama\u00a0said:\u00a0Orientalist?

modern European “wizards” are a pastiche of exotic foreigners, “Turks” or “Moors” in their colorful robes and funny hats, with occult mysticism derived from mangled phrases in Hebrew, Arabic, or Aramaic, and of course a healthy dose of messed up ideas about Ancient Egypt.

all stories about wizards are racist!

(all wizards are also racist, but that’s a separate issue).

The anime thing where they count like, nuns and nurses as magical types, with their iconic outfits and accessories, is 100% the way these things go
