Not sure if you know this or not but black Hermione wasn't a canon claim like Dumbledore. People were criticizing the casting of a play and she was defending the actress, saying "Hermione can be a black woman with my absolute blessing and enthusiasm."
Imo the worst of the canon claims is that wizards would shit themselves and then apparate it away instead of developing toilets.
