It's actually insulting that she suggests that Hermione was always supposed to be black. In the 4th book her frizzy hair gets straightened and everyone says how much better it looks. Natural black hair acceptance is a big issue.

JK was head girl at school. Hermione was a self insert.

this is some of the flimsiest evidence i've ever seen

[(Anonymous)]

It's not supposed to be evidence. It's pointing out that JK has no appreciation for the difficulty that black women face with regards to their hair if she always meant Hermione to be black.

Yeah, but I don't think she is claiming she always meant that. She's claiming that the text doesn't specify either way, and, separately, that she likes the idea of Black! Hermione.

DA

if she always meant Hermione to be black.

But she's never suggested she did mean for Hermione to be black, so there's really no issue here, at all.

It's actually insulting that she suggests that Hermione was always supposed to be black.

Except she never said this. It would be insulting if it actually happened, but it didn't. All that tweet is doing is pointing out that "But Hermione was always explicitly white in the books!" is not actually true (and that's correct, because she was implicitly white, which is not representation for anyone else but does mean that her being portrayed as another race later is not inherently contradicting the literal text). That's not the same as saying "Hermione was always black in the books" at all.
