Especially given how much the Hispanic population is growing right now (and how it's supposed to outnumber the white population eventually if it keeps growing at that rate, if all the scare reporting on Fox is to be believed, which I guess eh). But that did strike me when reading the first book, from the names more than anything.

No, the Hispanic population actually is growing pretty strongly (whether or not that's a neutral fact or an OMG HORRIBLE SCARY THING depends on whether or not you're watching Fox News I guess). For example, if current trends continue, Texas will have a majority Hispanic population in about ten years.

I've read criticism recently from Hispanic journalists, writers, etc. about how few Hispanic characters you see in American tv shows, movies, etc. and I think there's a lot of truth to that. It seems to be changing, but still, it's kind of stupid given demographic information

Yeah, and I imagine after 100+ or whatever it is for THG, there'd be enough intermarrying and so on that most of the characters would have some Hispanic blood at the least, if not the names. But that's harder to show, I guess? I still doubt Suzanne Collins thought that far.

There could be a lot of characters of spanish descent, I think, you just can't know it from the name (most of them are latin/weird), but I'm pretty sure a lot of them could be!
