I don't think Suzanne Collins meant for the Districts represented to necessarily be exactly like the modern-day regions they correspond to.
I currently live by the mountain regions of Appalachia and they don't strike me as a particularly diverse region and yet Collins stated that Katniss could feasibly be multiethnic. ( "It is a time period where hundreds of years have passed from now. There’s been a lot of ethnic mixing.") There are also pockets of Appalachia that are bi-racial and even tri-racial and aren't the majority but could still be part of Katniss' heritage even without Collins saying that there'd been considerable blurring of racial lines by the time the books start.

Plus, the Northeast of North America is very racially diverse. Parts of Canada and the Northern fishing states have strong First Nations/Native American communities and large immigrant populations even currently. New York for instance may not be VASTLY white.

Anyway, my folks are from Central America and a lot of them are not white, dark-eyed but redheaded and tan. So, its not usual perhaps, but feasible.
