To be fair, the books never actually stated Hermione's race, just that she had bushy brown hair (which a black-ish person could have)

There's numerous times where they mention or suggest her being white.

Harry mentions that her skin is now brown because of her vacation, because she got tan.

Harry mentions she looks like a panda with a black eye (guess what she would have to be for this joke to make sense)

She openly described as going white when she's surprised and is described as pale again at other points.

JK Rowling's drawings have her being white (the illustrations for the books as well), and she was saying how Emma Watson was just what she pictured.

It would have been fine is he was like "It's a play it doesn't matter" or saying she was the best for the part or whatever.

But she didn't, she tried to claim her race was ambiguous, but it wasn't at all.
