" Jesus was hella not white. Like, at all. "

I See White People: Hunger Games and a Brief History of Cultural Whitewashing:

'via Blog this'"As you may have heard (because it's both bonkers and everywhere), our national brain trust of semi-literate racist teenagers is not pleased with some casting choices in the newly released Hunger Gamesmovie. And lo, they took to Twitter with a fury.
"Kk call me racist but when I found out rue was black her death wasn't as sad," wrote one. (Okay, you're racist. And you left out a "k.") "HOW IN THE WORLD ARE THEY GOING TO MAKE RUE A FREAKIN BLACK BITCH IN THE MOVIE ?!?!?!??!" wondered another. One didn't mince words (or use them correctly in any way): "Sense when has Rue been a nigger." (Sidenote: Pretty much all of these teens have since locked or deleted their Twitter accounts—because it's totally cool to be racist in front of your friends, but the rest of America can be a real drag, bro.)"
