NEWS FLASH: In the future, we may not all be white!
The cast for the movie of The Hunger Games has been known for a while, but a certain segment of the fandom is having a hard time coming to terms with something about it: Namely, that Rue and Thresh, both described in the book as dark-skinned, will be played by African-American actors. Worse, so will Cinna, whose ethnicity isn't mentioned, and therefore must be white.

Hunger Games Tweets has been keeping its eye on some of the worse elements. Warning: Some extremely vile, racist language. Did you know that sweet, innocent girls must always be pale and fair-haired? And gay men can't be black? I'm telling you, it's an education.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go vomit.

I'd love a female!Holmes/female!Watson adaptation. I'd love it if they kept the potential queereness, I'd love it if they made them both straight, I'd love it in any possible ways.

I'd also love a nonwhite!Holmes, for a change. And a nonwhite!Watson.

I love adaptations of Holmes, as I love the canon. But this one... I just can't feel happy about it, and it has nothing to do with Miss Liu, who I'm sure will do her best with the role they gave her.
