We do not condone. All of this is wrong.

This is a blog about the white-washing of Katniss Everdeen, Gale Hawthorne, Haymitch Abernathy, and the rest of the Seam in the Hunger Games movie adaptations. The books presented an interesting view of racism and colorism, with the darker olive-skinned Seam class confined to the lower-paying mining jobs within District 12. This was negated with the casting of Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth. This was a great opportunity for an undiscovered actress of color to receive a major role in a major series for teens. Lionsgate severely limited their casting choices by specifically calling for “Caucasian” actors to audition for the role. We will also be discussing other issues in The Hunger Games series and fandom on this blog. Feel free to submit any information or art. The artwork in our icon is by willynillylily.
