Oh, I perfectly understand how this works, but I think this is what "unconscious racism" is all about. And it is not as if Katniss' appearance is mentioned once or twice, the mentionings of her "olive skin", "dark straight hair" and small statue are all over the place.
And someone is complaining about Rue? I really despair!Racism is still there!
And I don't think they can make it better with Cinna, his descriptions are not as detailed (AND he is not the main character)..
As you, I like Haymitch and Rue though. My biggest problem from "how I think I like this actor and how he fits the role" is the actor playing Peeta. I just don't like how he looks (his smile is creepy!), plus it will take some convincing for me to accept non-blond Peeta. :P
I just saw "Ender's Game" mentioned when I Googled Hailee Steinfeld. It is not concrete, though, indeed. Oh, what a pity.
