Im so glad she has no idea what Mexicans or latinos are. We would have gotten “Jose frijoles” a Mexican wizard with a moustache and hat who throws a spanish word into every sentence.
There’s no “shouldn’t have” here. We can laugh at these things. This was a joke about how badly JKR writes foreigners, not a joke about the race it depicts.
There are good and bad jokes about racial stereotypes. Are we making fun of Mexicans or are we making fun of racist peoples’ stereotypes about Mexicans? I’d argue this joke was the latter.

I don’t know if I’m laughing art JKR’s racism or at that funny racist sketch.
It’s ok to laugh at satire of racists 👍
Racism is so much fun amirite?
It’s fun to laugh at racist, so yes.
You can make fun of stereotypes without being racist.
This is literally just a commentary on how JK Rowling wrote her other characters like Cho Chang and Kingsley shacklebolt.
No reasonable person is offended by the joke because it’s making fun of the stereotype not of the actual race.
Ok I know I shouldnt have, but that did make me chuckle.
