Yeah I think it's cool if Hermione is a different race in other adaptations (or any of the characters, really) but book Hermione was white and Rowling doesn't need to pretend any differently.

Pretty much this.

Which is the main point people here are ignoring in favour of their petty outrage. Headcanon Hermione as any race you want, that's perfectly fine. "She was totally meant to be black, it's canon, all non-black interpretations are racist" and "JKR said she never really thought of her as white" though? Simply untrue.

THIS! Yeah, if she ever thought Hermione wasn't white as snow, she would have never singed off on Emma Watson being cast, the book covers in the UK having a white Hermione and the art on Pottermore having a white Hermione. JK Rowling has always had a say in the visual interpretations of the books. If at any point there was ever a conflict, discussion, or debate over what JK thought Hermione's race is in the past 20 years, we would have heard about it by now.

She wasn't though. She said "white skin was never specified" which it wasn't (not even in this circled quote because context matter even if you want to pretend it doesn't).

J.K. very probably always pictured Hermione as white, but she never explicitly stated that within the text and therefore; Black, brown or any other shade of skin for said character is a perfectly valid way of interpreting her.
