It pretty much always comes across that way to me, performative wokeness. JK Rowling did that herself when she pretend she didn't have a white girl in her head when she created Hermione, while writing the books, and up until a few years ago.

Changing the race of an established character is almost always done, in part, because of laziness. Can't come up with something new, change their race! Don't non white people deserve their own characters?

I honestly don't think JKR was trying to pretend Hermione was black all along or whatever. I think the comment about her never being described as white was meant more like, her race wasn't important enough to mention, so she can be any race if you want. It was defending the decision to have a black actress play her in the play.

Of course, you can assume she was white because pretty much any time a character wasn't white, JKR outright stated it (Dean Thomas and Kinglsey Shacklebolt) or you could tell from their name (Cho Chang, Parvati and Padma Patil).
