[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [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 Appalachia so Id expect for most of its citizens to be white.[/qb][/QUOTE]Again, it's the distant future of a post-America. The author's point is that the ethnic demographics of that region would not be exactly the same as it is today, though I don't disagree with the blonde haired Peeta. This is what makes the racists' arguments even more stupid. Appalachia may be all white today who knows what kind of population movements took place to make many people in that region have 'olive-skin' and dark hair. [QUOTE][qb]Also district 11 is not referenced as being all black, just the two tributes from there are black, you just get the impression. I'd have to read the rest of the 2 books to see if it elaborates any further.[/qb][/QUOTE]Of course! [b]LOL[/b] I hate to think that blacks would be segregated to an all black district as agricultural workers.
