To the racists it is
But they need to stop being racist and realize that making Petunia a not blonde woman is the biggest issue in the entire movie series

Why would black Hermione be a problem?

Because she is described as white in the books. Her race is not ambiguous. JK Rowling claimed that she never mentioned Hermiones race and thus, she could have been black all along. But she actually forgot that she HAD mentioned her race

It wouldn't be a problem if the play was another universe but Rowling claims the play is canon

No. But she was played by a black woman in a sequel play. In the books she is described as white but the author forgot she did that

Hey if the author wants to change her race, good on her. We could use more people of color in books and movies.

There was that stage play, Harry Potter and The Cursed Child and a black actress played Hermione in one of its runs.

My wife's from Ethiopia (well, her parents are) and she laments all the time about there not being enough black female leads, and I completely agree with her.

In the books Hermione is supposed to be super plain and Harry doesn't have any interest in her at all while he lusts after Ginny who is supposed to be a 10. If Hermione is changed to being black then it makes Harry look like a huge racist.

I have no problems with making changes like that for adaptation.the problem was Rowling's nonsense answer. "Maybe I wrote it so Hermione was always black?"
