A brief summary: www.racebending.com/v4/featured/jennifer-lawrence-cast-as-katniss-in-the-hunger-games/(Because allowing only Caucasian women to audition for Katnisss is grossgrossGROSS.) While there is nothing wrong with a white person being cast as a lead role -- especially a talented one -- it's important to know that whitewashing is a huge problem in Hollywood, and THG is another example of that. (There are a whole host of other factors here, but I'll stick to this for now.)

I really want to re-read this series, even though I just finished it earlier this year. Maybe right before Catching Fire comes out, I really loved that book.

^^I agree. Katniss is supposed to be from the poor coal area of Appalachia (I happen to live there) and, while it's pretty dang diverse around here, I live in a valley. The communities who actually live in the mountains and mine coal don't tend to be diverse at all. And, excluding all that, Katniss is described as being caucasian. I don't think it's racist to stay true to the book. It would be just as weird casting a different race for Katniss as it would be having a white girl play Rue. It's just about what the author wrote. I don't think THG has any particular problem with casting people just because they're white. If that were the case, then Rue, Thresh, and Cinna would all be white too (which would be super weird).
