How many last names do they even mention? Not many- a few Capitol citizens, a few from District 12 (Appalachians, which current demographics would dictate being predominantly White background), Coin from District 13 (which is definitely more about the Judas connection than demographics, but it's likely in the Laurentians/Quebec, and even Montreal is still over 73% white- I'd expect a French name would be more likely, but it's not as if there are no English speakers in the province) and a few Distict 4 characters when there are other hints of a Irish/Celtic background. Oh, and Johanna Mason, which is a lumber district and again could be a fairly English-ancestry heavy area.

Don't get me wrong, the books are not perfect. But the names are (generally)internally consistent. Capitol citizens have Roman or Romanesque names. Districts tend to name their kids after what they produce or another theme- D12 for example, tend to use nature names or names derived from Biblical sources with an inexact but general trend towards class divides- Seam people are generally naturey (Gale, Katniss, Primrose) while Town characters are more Biblical (Peeta=Peter, Madge=Margaret), but it is not a 100% divide, which is more believable than if it had been.
