WTF? It's in the book, people! And that's RACIST.

Book blogger Charles Tan told me a bit about this and then Tu Books editorial director Stacy Whitman shared a link on Facebook. . . Apparently there are Hunger Games fans who are very disappointed, even outraged, about the black actors cast in the movie.

*flips tables*

Click here to read an article about it.

Edited to add: I'm angry I'm angry I'm angry. So one of the messages being sent is that Amandla Stenberg "ruined" the Hunger Games movie BY BEING BLACK??? I cannot find the words to describe how angry I am right now.

To be honest when I read the books I never thought about the race of the characters, it's a non-issue for me. I cannot believe people are being this vile and immature. I haven't seen the film yet, but I'm sure they cast the best actors for the roles, regardless of their ethnicity.
