Many people who wouldn't be called "white" could be "white with fear" or have "white knuckles" depending on the situation. And a black person who is much less dark than usual because of fear might be called "white with fear". Or how would you describe them? | |
| Nov 1, 2018 at 5:50 | comment | added | wyvern | Rowling has indicated that the use of the word "white" in these descriptions of Hermione should not be understood as a "canonical statement" of her race, which undercuts the validity of this approach to answering Paul L's question. | |
