Iris just doesnt look black. There is no reason to assume she is black. "She lives in the US lmao" doesnt mean shit when the US has very large populations of many different types of brown people, there are tons of Indian immigrants, American Indian descendants, islanders, darker Hispanics, etc etc. We are called an immigrant nation over and over again. So fucking many different types of brown people and for this one brown character with a soft face and long flowing hair you're like "SHE BLACK."
Why the fuck do you NEED her to be black? Why is she not allowed to be anything else for you and why do you assume that anyone who doesnt feel shes black must be forcing it? If Gamefreak makes a fucking statement saying she's black I wont give a shit, but if they made a statement or revealed in some way that she's more like an Amazonian tribe girl than a black girl I bet you'd be pissed
