(Anonymous) 2011-06-03 01:16 am (UTC)(link)Yes, mixed race girls can have olive skin (again, Ms. Steinfeld), and I have issues with them using caucasian instead of a brief physical description in case that discouraged some mixed race actresses, but casting calls list ethnicity, and "caucasian" means "don't send us Asian or black actresses". It does not mean "send us only white girls". Katniss's sister and mother are pale and blonde; I don't think it's racist to not consider Asian or black women good fits physically. The process was possibly problematic (we have no idea what went on behind closed doors) but it was a far cry from the foaming-at-the-mouth accusations of racism.
...Especially since the author has said she's completely fine with it and was involved in casting.

Also, Hailee Steinfeld isn't Caucasian? What?
DA
(Anonymous) 2011-06-03 02:23 am (UTC)(link)Hailee Steinfeld is actually of mixed race. White/Black/Filipino.

(Anonymous) 2011-06-03 03:14 am (UTC)(link)I said Hailee Steinfeld is *not white*. That does not mean the same thing as *not caucasian.* They are not synonyms. Arabs, Latinas, and many other ethnic groups in addition to western Europeans are all caucasian, but they are not all considered white in America.
Though in either case, Hailee Steinfeld is neither white nor caucasian, as she is multi-ethnic, and only part of that background is caucasian. And therein lies another big problem with all this bitching: people who act like they can "tell by looking."
