Description
I wanted to draw Hermione for ages and now I finally did it!
And I've seen people pointing out that hermione could as well be black and I love that idea, so here she is (:

This is very lovely. So much like a storybook illustration <3

Having her hair described as "frizzy" is not enough to indicate Hermione is black. If she were black, JKR would have said so, the same way she would have specified that a certain character was Caucasian if the story were taking place in China instead of Britain. It's simply a matter of odds: one specifies the unlikely case, not the overwhelmingly likely one.
Black Hermione is AU. I love a good Alternate Universe tale (though I see no reason for this one, since it doesn't change the story in any way), but it remains AU.

actually since the books don't specify her race, the books "only" saying she has 'frizzy' hair can does not mean she's white. that dumb argument works both ways. and there are actually very many black people in britiain so that comparisson isn't a valid one either. since it does not change the plot and the books don't specify, black hermione is just as valid and just as correct as white hermione, referring strictly to cannon. why do you seem to want her to be white so much? it's easier to just admit you're racist than get worked up over black hermione like you just did

I know we’re not allowed to say so these days, but statistics matter in this sort of thing. Ethnicity is not random. Although there are more non-white Britons today than there were in the Nineties (when the events in canon took place), and there were more in the Nineties than there were in the Seventies (during the First Vold War), white people are still by far the majority in Britain. Therefore, in a story set in Britain, if a character’s color is not specified, one is justified in assuming that person is white, without people thinking one is racist for assuming that. It’s simply a matter of statistical liklihood.
Likewise if a story is set in China and a character’s ethnicity is not specified, one is justified, by statistical liklihood, in assuming the character is Han, and not, say, Uighur. It’s not impossible that, in a Chinese version of the Potterverse, the Blacks or the Grangers or the Evanses would be Uighurs or Mongols or Tibetans, but the odds are really against it. And if it were the case, it would have a major impact on the story that we do not see happening in canon.
