I don't think she's black either, but some other ethnicity (mostly because blacks are still taboo in anime, not because I wouldn't mind her being black. So, for me, its really a probability issue. Its more probable that she's something other than black). Black is only one of the several ethnicities she could be, and even then she could be mixed, as some anime characters tend to be. Perhaps she's a latina, an indian, or even some sort of middle eastern. I've definitely seen a good share of these types of characters and the japanese seem to have a fascination with them. Regardless, black is not the only possibility. I think why some people think she's black is because they want a black character that badly either because it is indeed rare or because they could identify with or love the character more if she were black. Perhaps they are sexually attracted to black women or it is some sort of fetish and her not being black ruins it for them. Regardless of the reason, it's bias that fuels the debate. Unless an official source releases this information, her ethnicity is ambiguous, and if you ask me, that makes her a hell of a lot sexier and mysterious which is definitely what they go for in the anime anyways.
