This. And Collins' cluelessness is so aggravating - she essentially admitted that Katniss is meant to be racially ambiguous (meaning, she's not explicitly biracial, but she's not explicitly white either), and yet didn't understand why people were so up in arms about the casting? To add insult to injury, she had to be dismissive about it by saying that they had hair dye and makeup. Yeah, because it's not like that sorta shit has any unfortunate implications or anything.

What's also irritating is how I've come across so many fans who insist that Katniss IS explicitly white. Um, no. A lack of declaration of POC status does not make her white. White is not the default, ffs.
