If she was Jewish her name would be Bignose Bloodlibelstein.

Imagine if she was actually a POC character and her so called friends laughed her out of a room for saying Slavery should not exist in the Wizarding World

she called her black character "Kingsley Shaklebolt" no way would J.K Rowling have called her "Hermione Granger" if she was POC

If JK wanted her to be non-white she would've make it very obvious. She's not known for her subtlety.

also Hermione wouldn't be surprised about the racism against muggleborns if she was a black kid in the 80s/90s of all things

Like…Rowling has said before Hermione was essentially her self-insert character…

I think it’s because people are trying to find themselves in her by any means necessary and then fanon takes over. I think of it like how fanon Draco and canon Draco are two fundamentally different people.

Did not know Hermione's identity was being discussed. She was always white. What is happening out here?

Also white people can have very curly hair, lets just create and promote real beautifully written black characters

A lot of people treat race as just the skin color. They don't take into account the culture, upbringing, other genetic traits that may come with it. It's a pat on the back, a "see, I'm not a bigot" but they don't think deeper.

it's actually crazy to me when those posts go around at the end of the year that break down the most popular pairings on AO3, and she's listed as a POC. like what is going ON. and don't even get me started on how ridiculous shipping a woc with her racist bully would be 💀

Honestly I feel like people say Hermione is POC coded because she's described as plain looking and unruly hair which is....😬

Let’s add to this: Katniss Everdeen isn’t a woman of color either, as admitted by the author herself

It always rubbed me the wrong way how, during the Cursed Child casting debate, she just kinda went “oh yeah, Hermione has frizzy hair so she can be black” without, like, doing the work writing Hermione as a black person. It felt more like she was taking credit for fan headcannons.

If she was intended to be black then why is her name not something like "Kingsley Shacklebolt"?
I get why people would want to cross read the text, but they should be honest to themselves about what they're doing.

When it is said that she is not white, it is because she does not have a specific description of her skin tone and that is why she can be imagined or interpreted as a white, tanned, pale or black girl. Not because she was black code.

If Rowling wrote Hermione as black we would know because she would not have a normal name and the racism wouldn't even be subtext. Don't get me wrong, versions of her being a POC are cool, but they can't even be considered a headcanon.

Yeah I always aligned her alienation with social-economic / class differences.

Yeah herminone is not Jewish or coded as such. She just has curly hair. Lot of Jews do have that but not all of us do. It’s not an inherent trait. Herminone never uses Hebrew or Yiddish or celebrates Jewish holidays or ask about Jewish mysticism like golems. If she was Jewish she would have sense of the meaning of Draco’s tone when he used a slur or spoken on historical Jewish genocides.
