Honest question: why does a character need to be CLEARLY racially coded in order to be read as anything but white? Not saying that JKR wrote the book with a non-white Hermione in mind, but why is "no race indicated" evidence of "this character is white"?

This is a good question. One that I can't deconstruct myself, but other than the obvious, perhaps because JK is white?

That assumes that a white author will only write about white characters unless specifically otherwise stated, which again comes back to the exact same question: why is a character with no racial markers assumed to be white?
