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.
