I disagree, if Rowling wants Hermione's ethnicity to be open to interpretation, I'm gonna interpret it how I want. She wants the benefits of virtue signalling a diverse cast, without being willing to risk actually writing diversity into her characters. That's why the main characters are all straight white neurotypical English people. That's why Dumbledore's gayness was hidden in subtext. Rowling wanted to hedge her bets and then claim she was an ally all along. But if she's gonna try to get the best of both worlds, well... I'm fed up enough with her bigotry that I'm gonna give her the worst of both worlds.

Also, Kingsley Shacklebolt? Might as well have called him MLK McSlavery. She is racist against black people too.
