[QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [QB] The only character that is def. white is Peeta as he is described as such, the others could very well be Latinos, although Latino is not a race, as there are white Latinos as well. District 12 is set in Appalacia so Id expect for most of its citizens to be white. Also district 11 is not referenced as being all black, just the two tributes from there are black, you just get the impression. Id have to read the rest of the 2 books to see if it elaborates any further. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [qb] LOL, Dude Ive read the book first one. Its clear that Rue, the Girl Character and her male counterpart from district 11 are black. On top of hainving dark brown skin There is a part that talks about her hair, which I can't recall the details but its "Thick/Curly" something like that..LOL [/qb][/QUOTE][b]LOL[/b] As I said, I never read the book, but from what I heard the description was '[b]dark brown skin[/b]'. If anything, one would expect hardcore fans to complain that the actress Amandla Stenberg who played her was too light in complexion! [IMG]http://hungergamesmovie.org/images/amandla_stenberg-315x472.jpg[/IMG] Obviously her skin is not even a dark hue of brown! Yet idiots are complaining she isn't white!! :eek: It's also a damn outrage the type of hateful sh|t this talented little girl is getting from the race-haters. [QUOTE][qb]I would have thought it would be BLACKS angry and making some dumb fuss because District 11 apperantly is the "Black District" or one with an African American population and they are over "Agriculture"..lol I'd think sensitive blacks would complain about it being a reference to slavery or something.. [/qb][/QUOTE][b]LMAO[/b] :D Are you serious! So the whole agricultural district is black??! The plantation district! [b]LOL[/b] [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
