I concur with those hunger games fans. It devaluates her death if she's black.
De-evaluates* Why would you say that? Your saying that one type of race is more important than another? Tell me, how many KKK meetings have you been to? Your a prick dude.

Well it says in the book she is dark skinned so I don't understand why anyone would be upset. And on a side note my black friend (who is as big than Tresh) just laughed at all this and said "She was black so she was going to die."

I'm a big fan of the Hunger Games series and I was excited when the movie came out, but recently a blog that I read made me very sad and kinda mad at some of the Hunger Games fans. Fans who read the book and watched the movie got upset that Rue was cast as an African American actress. They claimed that her being black ruined the movie and made her death less sad. I would like some opinions from Hunger Game fans and everyone else.The Hunger Games

Considering the premise, everyone who isn't the main character is pretty much doomed already so it's not a shock the black guy/girl dies at some point.
And this controversy hilariously reminds me of the time my best friend was telling me about some HP fanfics and somehow we got onto the topic of Blaise Zabini and since no one knew what Blaise looked like, they just had all kinds of images for him, including one that made him into a hot blonde chick with blue eyes that was dating Malfoy. At which point I looked at him and said, "Dude, Blaise is black."
"Really?"
"Yeah. It said so in the very first book; he was the last in Harry's year to get sorted. Blaise is a black guy."
While it's nice that people read, they really need to work on comprehension skills something fierce.

SHE WAS BLACK IN THE MOVIE TOO! I think they casted her just right.
I wished they fallowed the book a little bit better, because for the people who haven't read the book, I could see why it could possibly get confusing at some parts, even if they would have to make it another hour to it, I just wished they fallowed the book a little bit better. But hey thats how most movies based off books and games are like. Peeta on the other hand, I like the actor he's a good actor, but I think he was bad for the role, he well didn't do bad, but they could have easily done better
