According to reddit - back when I used to go there - and my dentist - back when I last visited him - the tongue will autonomously follow dentistry implements, generally without your awareness.
Basically everything about the house elves and the culturally norms around them is extremely problematic. No debate there.
But A) giving an Asian girl an anglicized Asian-ish name is not in itself racist. Chang is a common Chinese surname. Cho seems to be a fabrication and only vaguely Chinese sounding. She definitely could have picked a real name, but calling that racist seems like a stretch.
B) You're calling Hermione "the black girl", affirming a hard finality to her race that very notably was stated by Rowling to be open to interpretation. And of the many films, games, artwork, etc. depicting her, she's depicted as white in the vast majority of cases. It is fine if you interpret the character as black, casting a black actress, etc., but it is silly to treat that as an objective filter when convenient just for criticisms sake.
I disagree, if Rowling wants Hermione's ethnicity to be open to interpretation, I'm gonna interpret it how I want. She wants the benefits of virtue signalling a diverse cast, without being willing to risk actually writing diversity into her characters. That's why the main characters are all straight white neurotypical English people. That's why Dumbledore's gayness was hidden in subtext. Rowling wanted to hedge her bets and then claim she was an ally all along. But if she's gonna try to get the best of both worlds, well... I'm fed up enough with her bigotry that I'm gonna give her the worst of both worlds.
Also, Kingsley Shacklebolt? Might as well have called him MLK McSlavery. She is racist against black people too.
That's your brain not your tongue. This also works for your hands. Are you on drugs?
now look at my balls.
You HAVE licked everything, you just don't remember cause you were a toddler.
it's because you licked all of those things as a child, or things similar to them
Too bad i never tasted success before.
Why didn't my parents let me eat success?! It's a vital component of a growing boy's diet!
"You dare to use my own sorcery against me?!"
I mean.. it's my mind that knows. My tongue doesn't know shit
Yeah, and the tongue is just skin. If you know what it feels like with your hand, it's not going to feel too different with your tongue...
Well, the taste buds change the texture, which can make the perceived texture of what you're licking differ from using your fingers.

Maybe it knows more than you think.
Right? I feel like the brain just recycles what it knows about those things from feeling them normally with your skin.
Like there wasn't a life stage where we put everything that fit in our grubby little hands in our mouths, just like for the experience of it.
Did Sad_detective_toddler actually think various rocks and dirt were food? No. Did he want to know what granite tastes like though? You fucking bet
Holy crap it actually worked
Holy crap it actually worked 🤢
Hairy...
Who hasn't licked a football? Or a dead spider?
lol spiders reminded me of this recent oglaf
::: spoiler Mildly NSFW :::
I cackled when I first saw that one :)
I feel the same way about lead paint.
Downvoted because racist wizard template. Meme would be better with a better template.
Racist?
They named the asian girl "cho chang" and the black girl gets mocked for being against slavery
