Hahaha, themockingjay has EXPLODED. I really don't have much of a preference, since I've never seen any of the possible actors act, so I am reserving judgment.
But just based on looks? They seem fine. Yeah, they can dye everyone's hair... or, actually, just switch the coloring. I know people have been all up in arms about race stuff in the books, but IMO it's the segregation by class (in District 12, at least) that's more important.
The reason everyone from the Seam looks the same is because they don't marry outside their social class. So it doesn't matter what Katniss, Gale, Peeta, etc. look like, as long as Katniss and Gale look alike and Peeta looks different.
It's pretty clear that District 11 is black, but I mean, the people in the Capitol are literally green and purple. I don't think skin color works the same way in their culture.
