Hermione is essentially a race neutral character and the kicking off about it was ridiculous.
In the Potter books, Hermoine came back from France with a suntan. Hardly race neutral.

Not according to J K Rowling.

I meant the character itself is race neutral. It makes no actual difference to the character, book, story, movie etc if she were black, white, mixed or green.

Whereas, changing the skin colour of a character whose race is relevant would be changing things.
