Main points of: Whiteness and Femininity in Dystopia: A Discussion of The Hunger Games performing Non-performing to Authentic Femininity and Whiteness

Some of the main points of this article include:

Katniss fills the role of white femininity as the reality tv star.

The Capitol is also branded as white but it's a privileged, vapid and evil form of that.

Katniss is the white savior and white feminine beauty.

Class stuggles have always been related to racial hierarchies.

All three major black characters are killed to further cement her role as a white savior.

The type of whiteness that Katniss has and the people in the districts have is non-threatening to people of color.

(Basically, they are all in the same boat; oppressed, starving and at the mercy of the Capitol)

Katniss is never allowed to escape heterosexual femininity.
