...just kidding she's black she can go.
I'm sure all of you are aware of the hit trilogy The Hunger Games. These books have taken the film word by storm with its first becoming a movie.
Now, after reading the books I know that I fell in love with the character of Rue due to the similarities between her and Katniss' sister Prim. Since the character of Rue took over the 'little sister role' while Katniss was in the actual games, a reader would imagine Rue and Prim to look similar.
With this in mind, some viewers were not happy when the character of Rue being played by Amandla Stenberg, a 13 year old black girl. After watching this video I was in shock that since Rue was played by a black-American rather than a white-American, some people even refused to watch the movie ! And then proceeded to tweet about it!
I never would have thought that this would be an issue for fans, what are your thoughts?
