If they explicitly state such in the film, that might actually work. However, knowing Lin Manuel Miranda, he's probably not even going to bother with that explanation, treat her as black for no real reason (remember, he's the guy who had cast the various Founding Fathers as minority groups and didn't allow even one single white actor to play any roles in the musical Hamilton).
