i made a thing for all the ppl out there who think the hunger games wasn’t whitewashed
excuse the multiple red lines; i usually write in french so that’s the language i had it set to when i made this
My favorite response to whitewashed Katniss is “But white people can have olive skintone too!!!”
The response is, of course, “But Jennifer Lawrence is not one of those people!”
Yeah, the reason Lionsgate refused to change the “Caucasian” only casting call is totally because some white people have olive skin, and not because they didn’t want to consider olive skinned PoC for the role.
