[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [qb] Again: "Hispanics" are not a race. In the U.S sociological lexicon "minority" means an identifiably distinct "racial" group. 50% of Hispanics are white. [/qb][/QUOTE]I understand that. "Hispanic" by definition is anyone who is a native speaker of Spanish. "Latino" is an even broader classification defining speakers of Romance languages in general in America including both Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian), and even French (Haitians, Guinanans, etc.). Most Hispanics or Latinos in general are of mixed origins anyway. Katniss Everdeen is described as olive-skinned, dark haired, and green eyed. They could have easily found an olive-skinned or tanned 'white' girl or a Latina girl who matched the description. Hell, they could have picked a girl of Middle-Eastern ancestry. Instead they chose the actress Jennifer Lawrence to play the part. (she's the same actress who starred in 'Winter's Bone' as an impoverished teen and as young Mystique in 'X-men First Class') [IMG]http://cdn.buzznet.com/media/jjr/headlines/2011/03/jennifer-lawrence-katniss.jpg[/IMG] And all they did was dye her hair. [IMG]http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/08/18/the-hunger-games_620x350.jpg[/IMG] She is obviously not 'olive-skinned' or even tanned at all. Yet I have heard NO complaints about it! Again, I wonder what would happen if they did choose a non-white actress for the part. No doubt race-retards would go insane! [b]LOL[/b] Personally I think Vanessa Hudgens would be a better fit for the role. [IMG]http://www.usmagazine.com/uploads/assets/celebrities/26938-vanessa-hudgens/1251395064_vanessa_hudgens_290x402.jpg[/IMG] Hudgens is of mixed white, Native American, and Asian ancestry. Hopefully the race-fools will compromise with her partial white ancestry. :o [/QB][/QUOTE]
