Hunger Games article about racial comments.
Posters had mentioned it before in the Lounge, but this is the first link that I found discussing the issue. The link includes the actual tweets:
'Hunger Games,' Lenny Kravitz criticized in racist tweets
LOS ANGELES, March 27 (TheWrap.com) - "The Hunger Games" and stars Lenny Kravitz and Amandla Stenberg have been targeted in a series of racist tweets.
The bulk of the complaints center on the casting of black actors as characters that some Twitter users argue were portrayed as white in the Suzanne Collins' hit book.
Kravitz plays a stylist named Cinna.
Stenberg portrays Rue, the brave little girl who nurses Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) back to health at a key point in the film.
