Harry Potter and The Quest For Racial Purity

And while we're talking about books -- is it just me, or does anyone else think that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the announced title for the yet-to-come sixth Harry Potter book, seems a little, well, off -- a bit too, um, overtly racial?

I hear the title, and I imagine Rowling dragging along a chalkboard to book signings, interrupting the flow of book-toting kids in order to break into impromptu lectures on Ayran theory ...
