That's really dumb. He didn't ever tell us he was supposed to be black? Ok...
It's full on Hermione could have been black bullshit apparently.
I'd say the Hermione one is worse given she's jkr's si based on young her and of course that comment was made after the movies that she picked the director of after confirming he was a Hermione stan which is why she got to usurp Ron's good moments.
True. Same vibes though.

Noted, now he is pasty white whiter than Alabaster, just to spite out of text WoGs.
To the first, WB most likely saw how it was a popular fanon and just threw it in. I don't think it's disruptive to the story since Coil was only of note when he was Coil anyway, at least.
As for the second.
Also, you said she was white in the very page she first appear, you hack of an author! No offense to Cursed Child, fanfiction can do whatever it wants with canon, but you don't go saying fanfiction is canon!
You call it a long-term detriment but they really do tend to end up well-suited to the situation they end up in; it's just that it's kind of a continuous and ever-ongoing solving of that problem.
Bossy voice, bushy brown hair, large front teeth. Wearing a Hogwarts uniform. No other physical description of her in that chapter (but Malfoy gets described at white again — and, like in his previous appearance, it's the very first thing mentioned about him).
Running through the next chapter: still no more physical description of Hermione. Lots of characters mentioned by name with no description, several characters described by hair, but only 3 have skin descriptions: Hannah Abbott is "pink-faced", a somewhat-nervous Ron Weasley has turned "pale green", and Severus Snape has "sallow skin" (an unhealthy-looking yellow-white colour)
Which I disagree on as being "solving" the problem. Rather, it prolongs the problem: gives the Cape enough power that the Problem doesn't defeat them, but not anything to let them defeat the Problem.
If someone is suffering from a painful case of disease that would kill them in the next few days, then that death would be an unhappy end to the problem. Curing them completely of the disease would be a happy end to the problem. Part-curing them just enough that they continue to suffer from the painful disease for another agonising decade is not an "ongoing solution". It's just drawing out the problem.
Arguably this version of Uppercrust is an example of this. Due to his illness his body is fragile and can't risk getting damaged but rather then getting a power that fixes his body or the ability to cure it he gets the ability to shield it thus ensuring that he's paranoidly going over any possible way he could get injured and constantly working to accumulate capital and resources in search of a potential fix.
That's canon tho he's mentioned and covered in canon when the Undersiders recruited Ziz and Levi and decided to use them to be the consequences for the people breaking the unwritten and truce rules and decided to go crush the Elite for claiming territory and pushing people out of it to set up their city. Something which I must say is a rather odd sense of priorities since there was also the Fallen, Yangban and iirc it was after Teacher's sudden and inevitable betrayal of the fight Scion effort and they were being the Fallen, Yangban and Teacher.
Agnes Court actually not Uppercrust. She used her power to create a city and force people to either leave or submit to her during a truce thus prompting a response. It's unclear what Uppercrust was doing during GM or if he was even still alive. Uppercrust was first mentioned in department 64 quest which is canonical but he makes no appearance during Worm. Teacher was aided by Cauldron to claim an Endbringer for himself (because Cauldron were morons). Taylor's group did go after the Yangbang with Ziz actually. The Fallen by contrast were diffuse enough that it was hard for the heroes to do anything about them.

She made the city but it's mentioned Uppercrust is in there but is reduced to th point he's basically immobile.
No it isn't. I just checked and "Uppercrust" appears nowhere in the entire webnovel.
JKR doesn't explicitly state Hermione's skin color at that time, but brown hair is exceptionally rare for black people. It almost certainly means Caucasian.
In later books, she does describe Hermione as white: "Hermione's white face was sticking out from behind a tree." PoA, ch 21.

There is also the potential of an Easter egg being in the menu, like Morley cigarettes

This may just be skewed demographics (i.e. results of immigration from a common area), but where I live it's common enough that it wouldn't be exceptional. Less common than black hair, yes, but not especially rare (although, there's also the question of cutoff between "dark brown" versus "black"). More internationally, take Michelle Obama and her two daughters as a few relatively recent high-profile examples too. If she'd been described as blonde or a redhead, I'd have agreed with you, but brown hair isn't so exclusive that I'd consider it a notable signifier.
(There's also what you consider "black people". For example, brown hair is the most common colour among Aboriginal Australians, who are black by skin colour, but not African. But it's also common in several Arabic countries and parts of Asia, so even if you're discounting it as a sign of African heritage, it's still not an especially strong/unique indicator for Caucasian.)
Yes, as you mention, she is described as white in later books. But, the claim being disputed was that she was described as white on the page where she first appeared, which puts those out of scope.
I was reading something else, and this reminds me of Joe and his overclocking/multitasking: Saturday 23 February 2019

I found one reason to justify it in this one fanfic I read
There was this amazing cherico fic where the time polices of two Harry Potter universes meet
"Wait but you said you were Hermione's kid?"
"Yes why"
"Our Hermione is black"
...
"Dear god what did we do!"

This makes too much sense, especially if contessa was the one to orchestrate it.

Honestly, I know it's fun to blame Contessa for everything and all, but there is no point in always attributing malice in her when other people could be malicious in their own right, and from what I remember, Fleur's murderer did it so he could get into the Empire.
It can be argued then that she still indirectly caused it by having shaped the system which led to that happening, yes, but by that logic all blame could then be passed up the chain of blame and say that it was all the space whales' fault and though technically true, it does still miss the part where individual decisions still matter as far as culpability goes.
He did it under the impression that doing so would allow him to join the Empire at a higher than normal entry position, broke down on the stand which led to him somehow getting off without jail time and then joined the Empire at a higher than normal entry position which probably means they had a hand in it.
Say can Joe eventually create Cybertron or something like cybertron to make more Cybertronians

He needs a perk that he hasn't gotten yet for that I believe. It's the one that also gives him the wisdom of Optimus Prime I believe, All-Spark's Chosen I think.
Oh man him making cybertron will be so great as transformers are more then meets the eye

I've been thinking about how Taylor could utterly abuse her healing nanites the same way she could turn her "defensive" equipment into something capable of destroying entire cities in a single stroke. And of course, the obvious answers struck me first.
Give Taylor a Brute rating and she'll use that Brute rating. She would use the ability to heal from any injury to get in up close with her knife and Aegislash everything. But then I realized that it doesn't have to be limited to Taylor isn't it? Depending on how her ability to heal targets works, she could potentially offload some her nanites into her insects. Imagine the horror is a swarm capable of blotting out the skies and tank flamethrowers and insecticides. Or if she could use her insects to extend her nanites to allies, you're looking at not just one unkillable cape and her unfriendly unkillable swarm of insects, but also her team that is unable to die because they have a ladybug on them.
But then I realized that was still thinking too small. What do you define as "healing"? Even assuming Joe locks her out of any EVO stuff or anything the Red Queen would do, we put people to sleep for medical purposes all the time. Even without that previous assumption of her insects being able to extend her range, with her upcoming Brute rating she would be able to walk up to the Ash Beast and sedate him with a touch if I have this correct.
And this is in addition to all the other ridiculous things we already know Taylor could do, and probably including things I haven't even imagined. Joe are you really sure you want to give Taylor those nanites?

This is all lovely, but what do you think Joe's been working on locking down that tech for? Nanites are restricted to her, and restricted to only healing her.
Recent WOG has described the healing as strong enough that "you could be at full run, have the bottom half of your body vaporized, and it would heal so fast that you wouldn't miss a step (and the inclusion of Bastion cores means that it's capable of restoring physical objects as well, meaning costume and equipment damage isn't going to be a concern)."
Which is to say you'd 'only' have to deal with Brute!Taylor doing shit that would break most humans bones and tear apart tendons and at most get slight flashes of pain from the shit she does.
Also as later highlighted in that same WOG, the ideal use case for these nanites is actually what Joe was first using them for, which is recovering from workouts. Taylor could work out endlessly, not get tired, and get all the gains. Allowing her to rapidly become peak human in terms of strength... and again no biological limits on how hard she can strain herself in that state because her body will heal itself faster than it can be broken. I mean... she'd get so hungry she'd probably need Joe-level food to not be scarfing down The Fugly Bob Challenger multiple times a week, but Taylor would do that. Free food is free, after all
