Main points of: White Until Proven Black: Imagining Race in Hunger Games

The main points of this article include:

There are people who do not believe that Rue and Thresh should have been played by black characters. (Which is pretty darn stupid. The movie shows that lots (most?) of the people in District 11 are black. It's even obvious it's a plantation-type of situation. So why shouldn't Rue and Thresh be black? )

Some of the people got really vitirolic about Rue's race. (If they hate this so much they don't read any more of the series or watch the movies.)

The messages of that type are written by people in their teens and twenties.

A 2010 study found that about 9% of 3400 children's books published that year had a black as the main character.
