In spite of the countless well-written essays all over the Internet, yet another person still doesn't get it even though plenty of people have refuted this argument multiple times. Did you even read what people have been talking about? I don't think you did.

Most people are not upset because they believe Katniss or Finnick are not white. They are upset because, like almost every single goddamn movie ever made in Hollywood, Katniss and Finnick are not given the option to be anything other than white, even when the descriptions in the book greatly allow for it. (Well, I don't know how the casting call for Finnick looked, but Katniss was pretty goddamn blatant).

Sorry not we social justice advocates think fighting racism is more important than ignoring it so some people can feel more comfortable with the status quo. I am inclined to think you some variety of asshat if you believe that serious discussions of racism and Hollywood casting and fighting for equal opportunity and representation in visual media is just "whining." If anyone is whining it's the people who don't want to face reality or even consider the possibility that the world they are comfortable with may have some serious problems.

Even if you do not agree that there ultimately is a problem with what happened in the casting, dismissing those who do worry as "whiners" is absolutely pig-headed when you consider the history of racism in Hollywood. It is very legitimate for people to be concerned about what the hell is going on, especially with a popular movie franchise.
