Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds: In regards to one... →
For the record, I don’t think all people who don’t want Jesse as Finnick are racists. In my crusade I was met with a lot of people who immediately challenged my fancasting with “But Finnick is WHITE.” No where in the book is Finnick’s race every mentioned. Additionally, people started saying things like “but Finnick is Blonde Haired, Blue Eyed, Tan and probably...

This is pretty amazing…the public saying WE WANT THIS in a movie. It’s a process that’s so out of our hands until the time comes to watch it…I really love the idea of making our voice heard in terms of what we want to see prior to production. Really great.

Hey Gabblers!
Here’s an interesting article on Jesse Williams!
Nothing brings about a good old racist discussion than casting a film adaptation of a beloved book. So went the bru-ha-ha with Amandla Stenberg, who played Rue in The Hunger Games, and now fans are up in arms over the casting of…

People bitching about this sexy guy being cast as Finnick Odair.
May the crabs of 1000 whores infect your vaginas because okay, he doesn’t look like Finnick in the books. So? Who cares? Not everything in a film adaption has to be completely perfect. Jennier Lawrence didn’t look like a…

Jesse For Finnick Train!
rhymeswithbitch:
I said this on my personal blog and I’ll say it here to, It’s okay to white wash but we can’t throw a little color in there?
I’m just asking.
#JesseForFinnick
It’s not like Jennifer matches what I expected Katniss to look like (at all).

You know, for people who claim this book is their life, ya’ll sure act like you never even read it.
Finnick’s character description:
He is tall, muscular, and athletic, with tan skin, bronze-colored hair, and “incredible” sea green eyes
Jesse is
tall (6’1” or 185 cm)
naturally tan

jonesydaking:
Basically white fangirls out there are mad again about the possibility of a non white playing there precious Finnick Odair. They all wanted some cliche white actor who probably can’t act to play him. They were looking for the next Taylor Lautner in Finnick. They wanted there next white boy to…

theeternalingenue asked: I LOVE this blog and I'm behind #JesseforFinnick 100%, if only to see this racist fandom shit itself. They're doing mental acrobatics trying to give a rational explanation for why he shouldn't be cast. So yeah, just wanted to show my appreciation :D

shield-agent-merrick asked: Just came here from Jezebel article mentioning this. I have to say, to anyone saying "Tan skin means he must be white" I'm half-black/half-white. I've had my skintone described as "tan" all the time by people of various races.

So I actually cannot understand the shitstorm over the ethnicity of actors in The Hunger Games. There’s no part of me that can empathise with, or even understand, the mindset of people that has led to all these freak outs.
Now everyone is going psycho over Jesse Williams potentially being cast…

and-every-colour-illuminates:
First, there was the racist backlash to Lenny’s casting of Cinna, a role which he portrayed flawlessly. Then the absolute bullshit responses poor Amandla got for Rue (“I wasn’t sad when Rue died because she was black”). I understand these children are too incompetent to understand how blatantly…

Dear Racist Hunger Games Tweeters: We’re throwing you more logical issues you can’t deal with. The Interwebz have decided to campaign for Jesse Williams to play Finnick Odair in “Catching Fire”, the second HG film.

So this Finnick thing? We’ll get through it. We will.
(For the record, if it does end up being Jesse Williams, I am NOT complaining…I look at him and my panties want to fly off…and isn’t that the whole point of Finnick anyways??)
