Exactly. This attitude is exactly the problem. It's not that Finnick was definitely, unquestionably a POC, it's that we need to stop seeing white as the default.

[(Anonymous)]

For some reason I always thought of Finnick as Asian. Maybe because around here there are or at least were a lot of Asian people in the fishing industries. Then again "around here" is underwater in The Hunger Games.

I'm not saying I won't see the movie because a white guy is Finnick, especially since that was just my thought, but I agree that seeing white as the default is a problem.

I had an English prof who demonstrated this to my class. He drew a picture of a smiley face, then asked the class what race (and gender) they assumed the face likely was. Most of the class ended up saying white and male, even though there were no markers whatsoever on the face to determine a race or gender whatsoever. (Ie. the face could have been any race or gender, but we as a society are conditioned to think that the plain default is white male, and everything else can only be identified by a stereotyped marker or overt clarification that it isn't).

There's an XKCD for that! Sort of.

Context is here (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/30/beer-summit-begins-obama-_n_248254.html) if you need it, but the upswing is that the plainest, most basic stick figure in the strip, the one with no accessories or defining characteristics, is the one representing Barack Obama.
