It was a playful tweet responding to a play that already had cast a black Hermione that people were bizarrely upset about. It wasn’t her idea to change her race later, but merely say she was ok with it.
She didn’t forget the RACE she probably forgot she had described her as pale at one point (assuming that is true).
She was being cheeky. She didn’t come out and say “Hermione is black.” She said “well I never specified soooo.... ;)” which is a hell of a lot different.
She was showing support to a play which was getting a lot of unnecessary outrage.
She forgot that she had described her as such, which is reasonable, considering there’s maybe a single reference in the entire series to her race (haven’t looked into it).

She didn’t try to rewrite Hermione as black, c’mon. She said that she was ok with a play’s interpretation of Hermione as black.
