How I understood it is this: District 12 has two basic categories. One is darker skinned with black hair and grey eyes. The other is fair skinned with blonde hair and blue eyes. Katniss's and Prim's father belonged to the first category; their mother to the second. They're essentially biracial with Katniss taking after their father and Prim after their mother.

And that's an absolultely valid interpretation. That was mine too when reading. But I don't think it is the only valid one. So I don't think casting Lawrence was wrong, and I think she did and looked just fine as Katniss. Just auditioning white people for the roll was bad because Katniss is not clearly white. But casting a white person wasn't wrong because one valid interpretation is that Katniss is white.

I'm not saying there wasn't racism, because there was. But the racism was in the limited auditioning, not in the casting.
