The situation has been explained, but "she was never explicitly written as white in the books" is dumb and condescending. It was never intended that way and we all know it. Look IDGAF about the crappy play or if she wants to have her be portrayed as black from now on, but the people saying "bro... she's white on every cover and chapter header" aren't white supremacists. Kind of how if you say woman instead of menstruating person, you're not a transphobe who wants transpeople to kill themselves. The articles where she responded to the "haters" are dripping with smugness. "Haha, if you reacted to my tweet with anything other than "wow so stunning and brave" you're a racist!" It's the exact same shit happening to her now.
