So... Why was the Wizarding world so quick to jump on the "Let's hate the filthy mudbloods!" bandwagon? It seems weird that nobody was protesting the government's turn against muggle-borns.
Welcome to politics.
We've seen what the Death Eaters did to schoolchildren who questioned their propaganda. Do you think they were nicer to adults? Sure, go ahead and protest the Ministry's turn against Muggle-borns. The next day you'll come home to find they've killed your whole family.
We can ask the same question about 1930's Germany.
I can probably answer this because I'm a student of history. Ok the reason why no one was protesting the prejudice aganist Muggle-borns was because they would have been killed. For the prejudice aganist Jews/Romas/Disabled/ in RLF history? They would probably have been thrown into the contrection camps that you have heard of.
And the Jews/etc. weren't popular before, either. It's not like people were very tolerant of homosexual folks, and Jews had had a lot of trouble in the past, with people calling them greedy and Christ-killers and so on.
