the katniss thing will always irritate me because I'm beginning to think that a lot of people don't understand what olive skin is because it's definitely not an automatic indicator that someone is a POC (my family is filled with a bunch of olive skinned Greeks and if I went around attaching a POC label to myself, I would get a lot of eyebrows raised)

[(Anonymous)]

It depends on where you live. In the U.S., no, but in Scandinavia? Absolutely.

[(Anonymous)]

You can be olive-skinned even in the US and still not be a POC.

[(Anonymous)]

Nope. Europe doesn't categorise in terms of "white" and "POC" nearly as much as the US does. Ethnicity and cultural background are more important factors. And southern European people with darker or olive skin don't usually get categorised as "POC".

Please stop saying this. You're embarrassing yourself. It's painfully obvious that all you know about America comes from listening to Tumblr SJWs, and they do not represent the common American point of view.

I thought for a lot of people the issue wasn't that Katniss is definitely not white but that it's possible that she isn't and yet the casting people specifically went looking for white actresses.

da

For some people it is, but that's definitely not what's being complained about here.

[(Anonymous)]

It's only very narrowly possible that she isn't. Like virtually impossible. Her (full-blood) sister is a pale blonde. If Katniss wasn't white, it would be headline news, like those twins with mixed race parents where one had all the white parent's genes and one had all the black parent's. That article is seriously the argument one of my friends gave for why Katniss shouldn't be white. Which was stupid, as it was news because it was so rare. It's possible, but highly unlikely.

Yeah, it always bugs me when people insist that the books heavily imply that the people from Katniss's region of District 12 are PoC, and therefore the film directors shouldn't have been looking for white actresses. It's like, well Prim is from that same region and is Katniss's sister to boot, are people arguing that she's illegitimate? because the books definitely didn't imply that anywhere.

Plus, District 12 is supposed to be Appalachia, whose demographics (at least in our century) are something like 90+ percent white. But I'm guessing you could make a case for people forced out of coastal cities by sea level rise fleeing into the mountains, so by the time North America becomes Panem, there could be a shift.
