I actually know a few people who pictured her as Latina, myself included. I don't know why in particular- I assume it was the combination of "dark" and agricultural work brought to mind current trends rather than historical, and I still maintain that it was one valid reading. I think the movies went further with the Civil Rights metaphor so black was absolutely the right choice for the medium, but just reading the novel and not getting BLACK-BLACK BLACKETY BLACK doesn't make me racist.

Of course, I also argued that population-wise Katniss wasn't likely to be a WOC, and if she was it was likely Native American ancestry. This caused a ridiculous amount of wank and led me to the conclusion that I am too damn old for most fandom stuff.
