OP, you need to read the books. Race does not exist as a category. There are two types of people in Katniss' district: a majority with black hair, grey eyes, and olive skin and a minority with blonde hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. The only other described group is District 11 where black hair, gold eyes, and dark skin is the majority and at least one person with straight black hair (possibly implying that non-straight is the norm), gold eyes, and olive skin. The author makes it very difficult to guess the racial categories because racial categories don't exist. Descriptions are cursory at best because our concept of race does not play a big factor. Everyone is mixed or as mixed as their districts allow. The gene pool is very small and people have intermarried so much that our ideas of race don't matter.

I'm sorry that the films didn't meet your expectations of a racially divided Panem, but at this point in the books, only three categories are shown: the two in Katniss' district and the majority in District 11. The people in the Capitol are described more by their unnatural colorings than anything else. Katniss' district is in Appalachia. The logical conclusion would be that Hispanic would not be the dominant racial group. I think Jennifer is a little pale for the part, but you also need to consider that her sister and mother are part of the blonde hair, blue eyes minority. To show her as non-white, you would have to either present her dead father extensively or deal with an audience expecting a plot twist to explain the cognitive disonance.

Black hair, GOLD eyes, and dark skin?

That's kind of ridiculous, unless some bout of radiation has changed which genes for eye color are dominant.

I am under so much pressure to read these books and the more I learn about them (and yes, I was dragged to see the movie) the less motivation I have.
